However you do it: a video from your bedroom, a stand at freshers' fair, or a whole chapter you founded yourself. Three ways in, one form, ten minutes.
Open to students aged 16 and over, at any UK university, school or college.
Thank you. We read every one, and Muriel, who runs campus outreach at WCAN, will be in touch from info@wcan.uk to arrange a conversation.
Ten minutes at most. No CV, no cover letter.
The easiest way in, and the one we need most. You make content about your course, your applications, your campus, your first week in a placement. We put it in front of 20,000 women.
University, school or college
You are the WCAN name where you are. Opportunities reach your people first, because you put them there, and we back you with everything you need to do it.
University, school or college
A chapter is a student-led WCAN community at one university, built around careers, connections and professional development. We are founding the first ones now, and you would be building yours from the start rather than joining one that exists.
University only ยท founding now
Rachel makes the kind of content this whole thing runs on: short, honest, useful, filmed on a phone between other commitments. No studio, no team, no follower threshold to clear before she started.
That is the standard. If you can explain something clearly to someone two years behind you, you can do this.
Yes, and most of ours are not. We care about whether you can explain something clearly to someone two years behind you, not about your follower count. A phone and an honest take on your own experience is the whole job.
Sixteen or over, which covers sixth form, college and university. If you are younger and want WCAN at your school, tell your teacher about us and we will come to you.
No. We are looking for people who are organised, interested in careers and willing to start something. A previous title is not a requirement and we would rather you had the appetite than the CV line.
Creators post when they can. Ambassadors give around two to five hours a month at university and around four at school. Chapter leads we agree individually. Roles run for one academic year, and we would rather set something you can sustain than a number that collapses by November.
Yes. Most chapter leads start alone and recruit a team afterwards. If you already have friends who want in, say so and we will talk to you together.
Good. WCAN works alongside them rather than replacing them, and existing societies are usually the fastest route to your first members.
