/in , , , /by

Facts:

  • Only 9{2d8ca8a57a2be9c4e7c5f608c633b8d2972cbc20ea13f00e48eca0a2f3e4a9f8} of the UK engineering workforce is female

  • The UK has the lowest percentage of female engineering professionals in Europe

While we work with schools and colleges to encourage more girls to pursue engineering, we also need more visible role models to increase the number of women who will consider a career in engineering.

Throughout June, as part of National Women in Engineering day, we are offering free coaching consultations to ensure your career is on track. We need you to succeed.

Book your no obligation, free consultation by emailing info@kaurvalues.com

Beyond WISE

/in , , , , /by

Between starting a career to being promoted to middle management, 50{2d8ca8a57a2be9c4e7c5f608c633b8d2972cbc20ea13f00e48eca0a2f3e4a9f8} of the female talent leave the STEM profession. Yet we need these women to stay, if we are to address the skills shortage.

Having interviewed many women who leave STEM professions, it is sad to hear that they all share similar experiences that influenced their decisions. This indicates that current initiatives are failing to have an impact on talent and skills retention.

At the Beyond WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) event, we share postgraduate research and industry evidence on how pay inequality, promotion blockages, and lack of external opportunities are experienced. Armed with this information, you will see why a different approach is needed to have a greater impact on recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce.

Join us on 30th June to find out more on:

  • The evidence that drives women out of STEM professions
  • Why industry has made insignificant progress in addressing Diversity and Inclusion
  • The small changes needed, to make big differences to promote Fairness, Inclusiveness and Respect in the workplace

This is a must attend event for you, if you are passionate about making a difference and/or want to succeed.

Change can only happen if you step forward. Be that person.

 

National Women in Engineering Day – 23rd June

/in , , , /by

Kaur Values is involved with a number of projects and events associated with National Women in Engineering Day on 23rd June.

Why are we involved? If we can sort out the challenges faced by any one diverse group it has a positive impact on the other diversity strands. Every little bit promotes Fairness, Inclusiveness and Respect in the workplace and outside.

The lack of skills and lack of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professions is a problem that has been growing year on year.

EngineeringUK estimates the current shortfall of engineers in the UK is at 69,000 a year. The Royal Academy of Engineering reports that the current engineering workforce is 92{2d8ca8a57a2be9c4e7c5f608c633b8d2972cbc20ea13f00e48eca0a2f3e4a9f8} male and 94{2d8ca8a57a2be9c4e7c5f608c633b8d2972cbc20ea13f00e48eca0a2f3e4a9f8} white.

If we are to address the skills shortage we have to address diversity and inclusion at all levels in the STEM sector.

Get involved, and do your bit. Check out these links too.
