The lives of women in the Ludwigsburg district will once again be the focus of the WOMEN'S INFO DAYS from May 2 - 12. The aim is to provide knowledge and support on topics such as "Reconciling family, care and career", "Returning to work", "Further professional training and education" and "Success stories that encourage". The main organizers are the Equal Opportunities Officer of the Ludwigsburg district, the Employment Agency and the Regional Office for Vocational Training.

The main theme for 2023: "Self is the woman?!" Expand your MIN(D)T set! focuses on the (as yet) untapped potential of women in STEM professions (mathematics, information technology, natural sciences, technology).
