WOMEN IN ENGINEERING
It’s extremely important to challenge the stereotypes of the job as the more women that are visible in senior roles, the more likely other women will think that’s an industry they should consider for a career. The only way to change these stereotypes is for there to be more female role models.
University is definitely one way to enter the profession however, apprenticeships are increasing in popularity. Apprenticeships are on the rise as they provide you an opportunity to learn skills on the job, be paid a salary and emerge debt free at the end. Many organisations believe people that come through
apprenticeships are keener to learn, thus making you more employable.
With Mane having worked in the Engineering industry for over 25 years we believe more women in engineering will not only solve the lack of engineers but will also improve the industry, as it is proven that gender diverse within a company improves performance. Collectively we can all play a part in driving a gender-balanced world.
