Such programs enable professionals to return to the workforce after a career break by providing training and mentoring support through paid internships. Our panel consists of prominent executives leading such programs and participants who have benefitted from these efforts. Together we explore the next steps required and the opportunities available for technical women to re-enter the workforce.
