This episode features a recording of the ASPire Women's Network panel discussion that was held in front of a live audience of employees and streamed online from the Inside Industry Visitor Centre. Organised in line with International Women's Day, the initiative connects all women and existing networks at BlueScope, with the aim of creating accessible opportunities for development and supporting career-growth aspirations and confidence.

We thank our participants, including panel host Kylie MacKenzie (General Manager, BlueScope Building Components), Corinne Diedericks (Head of Finance, BlueScope Building Components), Marijana Upton (National Manager, Marketing) and Sophie Boss (Blast Furnace Operations Manager) for sharing their career experiences during the event.
