Women in Science, Engineering and Technology
We make a positive difference for women working in, entering or studying STEM.
We partner with employers and educators to create inclusive working and learning environments.
The Issue
Why increasing the number of women in STEM matters.
Increasing the number of women in STEM is the economically right thing to do. Evidence tells us that a diverse workforce increases profitablity, productivity and creativity across industry.
Increasing the number of women in STEM is the socially right thing to do. The jobs of the future are either in the STEM industries or will require STEM skills. It is crucial that the doors to these jobs are open to women, or we risk further locking women out of opportunities.
Women
Whatever stage of your career you’re at, we are here to help you get to where you want to be.
We offer training and one to one support to assist you throughout your careers. We have a programme of events and courses across Scotland which can help you progress in the workplace, get ready to get back into STEM or support you to tackle workplace challenges you might find.
Employers
We are the leading national organisation helping employers to create inclusive workplaces and address skills shortages by attracting diverse talent.
Employers use our services to help them attract more women to their roles, help them retain talented women and to support them to create positive workplaces. We provide expert training in equality and diversity issues and support the development of gender equality strategies.
Students
We support a network of champions to advance gender equality and support women in STEM students to advance their careers.
We work with universities and colleges to help them recruit a local STEM student champion who can develop activities on campus to support and engage other women students in STEM. We also work with student champions and support them to deliver and influence gender equality in STEM initatives within their institution.
