About VOW | Voices of Women-

VOW | Voices of Women - an exclusive women-only Blogathon is a one-of-its-kind blogging contest, where ideas can come alive and inspire change. A place for women to share their voice on current and trending topics, themes and issues that matter to the women workforce and their role in business and society at large. Presented by We-ACE and powered by IBM, this Blogathon is open to women from all walks of life to engage in a discussion around larger trends, developments and barriers in the face of building a more diverse and inclusive workforce and work culture.

This year we are inviting entries on the following theme: Given that women are unique in the way they approach, build and experience their career journey - do they need bespoke skilling? If yes, what ecosystem do they need to come forward and aspire to learn, grow and ace at different life stages of their career? Share your thoughts and ideas on the topic in 800 to 1000 words.
