West College Scotland in partnership with Forth Valley College and Equate Scotland are committed to encouraging more female representation into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics roles.
Working alongside local employers such as Howdens, Scotrail, Diodes, Alexander Dennis Ltd, Ineos, and Petrofac, the Women in STEM initiative has been looking to understand and challenge stereotypes and develop the early years parts of this pipeline, to impact upon attitudinal and cultural change. The project hopes to make inclusive workplaces the norm not the exception and support female apprentices to build their peer support network with access to role models at the very start of their career, encouraging the apprentices to think about the challenges and opportunities, developing their confidence and the skills to succeed.
This dedicated project page provides support, links and advice to employers, apprentices and school pupils in getting started in a career in STEM!
