The #1 thing to remember is... you belong here. 🌟 In a field where the path may seem even more lonely as you climb higher, where critics may doubt your capabilities simply because you're a woman, remember this powerful truth: You are an invaluable asset to any organization. You bring to the table unique perspectives and diverse skills that drive innovation and success within the STEM fields. Your presence is not just necessary; it's transformative. As we navigate through challenges and shatter glass ceilings, let's not forget the strength we possess and the change we're capable of. Your journey, your achievements, and your resilience pave the way for the future of engineering and STEM. 💪 When I started my engineering career, there were few other women engineers who could help me navigate the bias I encountered daily. Fortunately for me, I had two older brothers so I knew how to speak up for myself from an early age. Yet, it was hard to know how to approach different situations without being too soft or too "bossy" without any good role models to turn to for help. While more women are entering STEM fields, we are still a distinct minority and those number are even worse as you move up. This doesn't mean we can't succeed, it simply means we may have to be more intentional about how we grow our careers so we are in the right place for us. Feeling unsure about the next steps in your STEM career? Let's talk. Book a FREE 'Mapping Your Future Strategy Call' with me today. Together, we can strategize your path to success and empowerment in the STEM world. Message me to schedule your call.

Our latest annual research, The STEM Returners Index 2023, reveals that individuals aiming to re-enter STEM fields are a skilled and driven group with recent experience, qualifications, and a strong desire to resume their careers. Despite this, many STEM professionals face challenges when attempting to return to work via traditional recruitment channels. Why? Unconscious bias at the shortlisting stage, hiring pressures leading to assumptions made on limited information, and the common misconception that a ‘CV gap’ equates to a deterioration of skills. These hidden barriers mean talented professionals are being left behind, and this needs to change. In partnership with Enginuity the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), and ADS Group Ltd, The Aerospace and Automotive STEM Returners Project aims to assist and empower individuals returning to work, all while bridging the skills gap in the automotive and aerospace sectors. The returners programme facilitated by STEM Returners will provide a 12-week returnship for professionals to gain real work experience and mentoring. It aims to ease their transition back to work and may lead to permanent employment with the host organisation. The project is open to all organisations in the Aero and/or Auto sector, however funding from Enginuity is available for SMEs. There are many benefits to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises supporting the Aerospace and Automotive STEM Returners Project, including: ⚪️Increasing STEM professionals in a skills short market ⚪️Improving workplace diversity and inclusion ⚪️Attracting highly experienced talent ⚪️Raising awareness of the impact of unconscious bias ⚪️Promoting good practice in inclusive recruitment Applications for funding for SMEs must be submitted by Friday 22nd March 2024.

Beth Megerle - IT & Finance/HR Assistant - Tech Parks Arizona I am a woman of adaptability. My career and journey with STEM have been one twist after another, but I wouldn’t dream of trading my adventure. In all honesty, it took me writing this story and speaking with the powerful women who surround me to find my voice in this space. When I was attending college in the 80’s, STEM (let alone women in STEM) was not the topic of conversation- basic equality for women was. After I graduated from the University of Arizona with a General Studies degree in Classics, History and French, I took on my first job (and twist into STEM) as a computer specialist. At the time, computers were not the norm; cell phones did not exist, anyone with a knack for understanding how the machines and software worked was welcomed as a “specialist”. My career evolved as computers did, growing from a specialist to managing the software and infrastructure for the Athletics Ticket Office and Development Office. Here, I found a space in my career where I was able to lift others. I interacted with students, as event attendees and student employees, listening to and advising their struggles while encouraging their interests and goals within their degrees. I valued my time in a mentorship role for these students, offering advice from a perspective as someone who stumbled into her own path and found excitement in the adventure. Now, I see myself having a smaller, more personal impact for STEM. In my current position, I’m no longer a policies/initiatives creator, however, I’m working directly with people and startups in the science and tech space and can encourage and cheer on their successes. I nurture growth by actively networking on site and connecting people to leaders and resources fueling their success. #WomenOfTheUATechPark #WomensHistoryMonth #Arizona #ShapingTheFuture #TechnologysBestAddress
