E.ON is working with STEM Returners for the second time to support professionals who have taken a career break and wish to return to work. The initiative offers 12-week hybrid placements, combining remote work with time spent at E.ON’s offices. Roles are available across engineering and technology.
The partnership focuses on helping candidates gain hands-on experience, with support from STEM Returners, who provide mentoring and career coaching. Successful participants may have the opportunity to secure permanent roles at E.ON.
This collaboration continues E.ON’s commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace, recognising the value of experienced talent that may face barriers to re-entering the workforce. E.ON aims to tackle recruitment bias, especially for women who often find it harder to return to their fields after a break.
The programme builds on the success of last year’s first initiative, which helped individuals like Nicola Kennedy transition back into full-time employment. Since 2017, STEM Returners has helped nearly 600 candidates overcome the challenges of rejoining the workforce, particularly in industries facing skills shortages.
This latest programme will continue addressing the gap in skilled professionals, while offering participants the resources to reintegrate into their careers.
