Research by our STEM team shows that early intervention is a key enabler. This is why we tailor our STEM activities to focus on children in 5 th and 6 th class. Making STEM meaningful and building confidence in girls to pursue these subjects is key to increasing the uptake of STEM by females. One of our key STEM programs is providing information to students and their parents to encourage subject choices aligned with STEM careers. Our female STEM professionals actively support these activities and become role models that inspire the next generation. Recruitment policies on pay equity and gender diversity ensures the next generation of innovators enjoy the benefits of having more females in STEM.
