"Women who study STEM fields are less likely to enter into STEM careers and exit these careers earlier than male peers. Women in STEM fields publish less and are likely to be underpaid. Women comprised 29.2 percent of the STEM workforce in 146 nations evaluated in the Global Gender Gap Report (2023), even though women made up 49.3 percent or almost half of the total employment across non-STEM occupations." - Observer Research Foundation 📚👩🎓Vigyanshaala is bridging the gap between #aspirations and #achievements through Program Kalpana by empowering female students pursuing STEM with career-ready skills and connecting them with global mentors for #guidance, #motivation, and #support.✨ ✨If you are a #female undergraduate STEM student (or know someone who is and would like to be mentored by leading women in #STEM from around the world, join us for our upcoming cohort by registering today.

Cracking the Gender Code in STEM: Is a 50-50 Split a Pipe Dream? Why aren't more young women pursuing STEM subjects? Despite decades of progress, female representation in fields like engineering and computer science remains surprisingly low. So, what's missing? Role models. But not just any — we need visible, relatable women owning their space in STEM to dispel persistent stereotypes and ignite ambition. Is aiming for a 50% enrolment split overly ambitious? Perhaps. After all, interests are diverse, and not every woman aspires to be a STEM superstar - just as not every man does. Yet striving toward balance shouldn't be about hitting an exact figure; it's about ensuring every young woman who dreams of science or tech sees it as a realm of limitless possibility, not gendered gatekeeping. We need to get to the root of the issue. Why are these courses not pulling in female students? It's high time to re-evaluate our approach. Let's start with early education, imbued with creativity and experimentation, to captivate girls' imaginations. Let's amplify stories of female innovators shaping our world, making STEM an adventure, not an anomaly. As the founder of Software Placements, I've been matching talent with opportunity for over 25 years, and one conclusion is clear: access to inspiring mentors can turn curiosity into career. With a personal passion for sport, history, and politics, I know the power of representation - seeing someone like you excel can turn the "impossible" into "I'm possible." So, let's provoke conversation, not confrontation. Could targeted outreach and revised curricula boost female STEM enrolment? Can we cultivate an educational culture where a girl's interest in science is nurtured as norm, not exception? Share your insights in the comments below — let's make STEM inclusive, one breakthrough at a time. #STEMDiversity #WomenInTech #EducationalInnovation

Network Ireland Cork Businesswoman of the Year Award Winner STEM 2024 | @accesslabs.ie Access Laboratories | Senior Medical Scientist
Encouraging women to join STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields is crucial for promoting diversity, fostering innovation, and addressing gender disparities in these industries. By offering STEM programmes to girls in school they can be exposed to these options early on their educational journeys. It is important to highlight female role models in STEM and offer mentorship programmes that can result in useful connections and opportunities for young women to create networks. There is an old saying that 'It takes a village to raise a child'. Community support and financial support by local industry can be used for internships and to make resources and sponsorship programmes available for women interested in entering STEM fields. It is important to encourage women by offering them flexible work arrangements, childcare support, mentorship programs, and professional development opportunities to accommodate their needs so they can pursue #STEMcareers while balancing the pressures of family responsibilities By addressing bias and discrimination in academic and workplace settings through engagement, we can ensure that environments are inclusive. This can be achieved through policy advocacy by campaigning for policy changes with local politicians to promote gender equity in STEM. Advocating for inclusive hiring practices, pay equity, leadership opportunities, and career advancement pathways for women would encourage more women to enter #STEM industries. Ensuring equal access to opportunities and recognition for their contributions would create a more balanced, diverse and inclusive STEM workforce. #NetworkIreland #networkcork #supportedbyAIB #astepahead #womeninbusiness

📢 Celebrating Women in Engineering Day! 🎉 Did you know? Only 16.5% of engineers in the UK are Women. It's well-known that females are underrepresented in STEM, but what are we doing to change this? Many girls are discouraged from pursuing STEM subjects due to stereotypes and lack of support. Research shows 1 in 10 girls want a job that makes a societal impact. Highlighting how STEM careers align with these ambitions can help close the gender gap. How can we encourage more girls to consider STEM? • Decorating classrooms with posters showcasing creativity in STEM. • Debunking myths about STEM and its real-world relevance. • Sharing news, competitions, and case studies related to STEM. Hands-on experience is crucial, as 47% of women learn best this way. Suggestions include: • Introducing STEM and computer science early. • Starting STEM clubs and activities. • Organising school trips to STEM-related centres and museums. Join the conversation! How can we close the STEM gender gap? #WomenInEngineering #STEMEducation #EngineeringDay #IronBridgePartners #IronBridgeRecruitment #EducationRecruitment #FurtherEdRecruitment

Associate Director & Head of OEMs, Technology and Processing - Mining, Minerals & Metals / CSG Talent
How can businesses inspire the next generation, especially women, into STEM / mining careers? A question posed to me from Camille Hollingsworth on my recent post regarding #STEMDay has really got me thinking how much more could be done to inspire and aid the next generation of women to get into STEM careers. There is so much that can be said on this topic but here are the three key areas I believe would make the biggest impact: Education / School Curriculum Sharing success stories within schools to highlight the impact that such careers have on the environment. Creating opportunities for practical experience with work experience or workshops. Companies in the industry collaborating with schools to demonstrate live projects. Exposure Creating mentor programs for students to connect with those in the industry to share their successes and provide guidance on their paths in this space. Providing scholarships or financial support for those looking to further their education within STEM. Increasing the number of Internships for further exposure to real life projects and the use of new age technology. Accessibility Content consumption is changing and businesses need to quickly adapt to reach a younger audience through different mediums. Some further thoughts from my colleague Simon Gillibrand can be found below about championing women in STEM. #womeninstem #stem #stemeducation #womeninmining #miningcareers

🎉Celebrating Women in STEM: Meet Harriet Effah!🎉 I am Harriet Effah, currently in my third year studying Computer Engineering at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). Ever wonder how simply clicking an icon on your desktop triggers a chain of events on your computer? That curiosity led me to pursue computer engineering. I marveled at how seemingly complex devices are actually easy to operate, with countless instructions running seamlessly in the background. However, being a woman in STEM has its challenges, from navigating confusing courses to competing in male-dominated fields like computer engineering. Yet, I found strength in communities like She Codes Africa and Django Girls, where women support each other to defy stereotypes and succeed. Their message was simple: “Never give up; you can do anything once you put your mind to it.” This message of perseverance inspired me when I developed my first shopping website, proving that with determination, anything is possible. My advice to aspiring women in STEM is simple: seek mentorship, build a supportive network, and never stop learning. Together, we’re shaping a future where women thrive in STEM roles, driving innovation for a sustainable world! https://lnkd.in/eAmv2k_9 Harriet Effah #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInSTEM #InnovateWithACL
