Diversity in STEM, Session III: Girls in STEM & the Educational Corridor

Apprenti and our partners in Ohio, the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, present: Diversity in STEM, Session III: Girls in STEM & the Educational Corridor. A quarterly event series to showcase the need to bridge the diversity gap in STEM education and careers.Like never before, the U.S. is in a deep-seated race to bolster the country’s “engineering pipeline” to meet the significant demand created by the escalation in global technological and scientific advancements. Cultivating a diverse STEM workforce is critical as corporations seek to lead effectively during a time of unprecedented globalization. To that aim, the U.S. is faced with the task of increasing the number of women, especially women of color entering STEM fields. While industry experts agree on the goal of diversifying the “STEM pipeline,” conversations continue regarding effective methods to increase the number of women in STEM. During this panel, we will present three different perspectives from women currently in STEM fields. They will share their experiences and wisdom on how to engage more girls in STEM.

We look forward to seeing you there, providing meaningful connections, and giving you plenty to take back to your organizations. If you are unable to attend in-person, a Zoom meeting link will be sent to those registered on Wednesday, February 8th by EOD
