Testimony

“I’m glad I decided to apply. I really liked my mentor, she was well chosen. In addition, I got an offer to do an internship at Eaton. It was also an amazing experience to prepare for the presentation, trying to speak directly to people – the more such experiences, the better.”

— Jana Taryrkova, 2022’s finalist

“I would definitely recommend SHE Award. It’s a challenge, it pushes your limits and you become a better person, person you are proud of.”

— Markéta Hudcová, 2022’s 3rd place winner

“We at Honeywell believe that diversity of thought is super important especially in bringing a different perspective in solving problems. I was genuinely impressed by SHE Award finalists in general. Impressed with the quality of presentations, with the topics that were selected, very interesting. Great organization, thanks to everybody who made this happen.”
