Declan chats to Rebecca and Andrew, two of the founders of Smurfit Women, Inspiring More (SWIM) a network founded to raise awareness with university graduates of some of the biases or prejudices that exist against women in the workplace, ensuring their first experience of this is less of a culture shock.
