LONDON(Reuters)-Oxford University has introduced confidence classes for female students to get them to compete for jobs in future and win chances to work in best companies.
They may be young and gifted,but research at the excellent institution has found that female undergraduates(大学生) are shying away from applying for jobs in banking,finance,management consultancy,engineering and resource management.Partly as a result,starting salaries for women when they graduate are on average£2,000to£3,000lower than their male peers.
"Women are earning less on leaving Oxford University.It is ridiculous,"said Jonathan Black,director of the Careers Service at the university."We have high quality,high achieving students of both genders.But it appears that women are selecting lower-paid jobs.They accept more prejudice(偏见) in certain industries and are saying‘I won't struggle for that really high-paid job'.We are not trying to push loads of women but trying to say they should feel able to apply for these sorts of jobs.Men seem to have more self-confidence and see the bigger picture generally,even when their self-belief is not necessarily based on any greater academic advantage."
The four-day programme at Oxford University will help 45female undergraduates improve their self-confidence and decision-making,think positively and build on their strengths.Confidence training will teach them how to deal with challenging situations.
Successful female employees from RBS(苏格兰皇家银行) and BP(英国石油公司),which are supporting the course,will talk about their lives and careers.RBS's involvement follows a promise by the bank to increase its national percentage of female graduate applications from 35percent to 50percent by 2014.
Sophie Kelley,20,studying law at Oxford University,is hoping the course will make her more confident in courses and interviews."I am applying to London law firms for vacation schemes and it is so competitive,"she said."The rejection letters don't give any real feedback(反馈的意见),so I'm expecting the programme might give me a hand and advice."
