Australia needs female STEM leaders. From big business to start up, diversity is critical to building innovation capability and ensuring your team has that winning edge.
As industry demand for high-level STEM capability soars, underrepresentation sees women account for only 16 per cent of this essential workforce. Without action, this skill shortage will put the brakes on Australian innovation.
AMSI’s Women in STEM Pledge #WiSTEMpledge is a natural step for the Institute and its STEM industry engagement arm, APR.Intern. Whether today, tomorrow or in the future, the Pledge aims to take real action by opening opportunities and creating career-changing gateways for women in STEM.
