Awards
The HerRising Awards is an effort to recognise not just the women who are returning to the workplace, but every woman, regardless of her years in the workforce, for rising at her organisation, as a result of her commitment and drive.
The Awards are part of HerRising, which is one of India’s largest career fairs for women, in Bangalore on September 7, 2019.
HerKey (formerly JobsForHer) is an online portal that enables women to accelerate their careers by connecting them to jobs, community, mentoring, reskilling, and networking opportunities.
