My name is Arti Agrawal and I'm the
00:05
Director for women in engineering and IT at
00:08
the University of Technology Sydney I'm
00:10
also an associate professor in the
00:12
school of data and electrical
00:13
Engineering. Women in engineering and IT is
00:16
the longest-running unit of its kind in
00:18
Australia and our vision is to create
00:21
and lead social change so that education
00:24
and career journeys in engineering and
00:27
IT are not limited by gender and here
00:30
I'd like to share with you some of the
00:31
answers we got from people from our
00:33
community about what it means to them.
The Women in Engineering and IT community provides an opportunity to flourish.
00:41
A united community filled with love
00:45
to help others. Women in engineering and
00:48
IT in one word would be empowering. It’s
00:51
an ambitious and enthusiastic community
00:53
which focuses on wellbeing as well as the
00:56
empowerment of women. It’s so passionate,
01:00
everyone working here is so passionate
01:02
about empowering women and taking them
01:04
to the next level. I’ve been attending let's talk
01:08
Sessions, the weekly coffee hours, the occasional
01:10
lunch and cultural
01:12
celebration events, lots of skill
01:15
development workshops. What I've done in the
01:18
program that I’m currently actively
01:20
involved in women in engineering and IT at
01:22
UTS is called the Ambassador Program
01:26
I have had numerous opportunities to
01:29
attend seminars presentations workshops
01:31
etc
01:32
I could also participate in volunteering
01:35
Activities. The coffees hours, festival
01:38
celebrations from different cultures,
01:40
Lucy mentoring.
01:42
I made new connections and lifelong
01:45
Friends. I’ve improved my academic and social
01:49
skills due to the meetings and
01:52
workshops I've been attending for the
01:54
past year. When I first came to Australia I
01:58
didn't know anyone and women in
02:00
engineering and IT made me feel included
02:02
I've got so many opportunities to
02:05
explore myself. It helps me to develop a
02:08
strong and professional network and
02:11
connectivity with other people. Being a
02:14
part of this community I’ve learned not to
02:17
limit myself. Many people limit
02:19
themselves to what they think they can do
02:22
But we can go as far as our mind can go
02:25
when we are determined. Namaste.
02:28
I am able to connect women in tech
02:31
like engineer data scientists that share
02:34
the same value and put diversity at
02:36
their job right. It’s helped me to have a
02:40
Voice, to say what I need to say and do
02:43
what needs to be done to help others
02:45
Do that. Being part of women in engineering and
02:48
IT has made me much more
02:50
Confident, made me meet like-minded
02:53
people and helped me develop skills
02:55
through various workshops that
02:58
keeps on happening around the year.
