Encouraging more women to go for a career in STEM is not as a big problem as it used to be. So, what's the problem? Most of them leave the profession within the first five years after graduating.
Today's guest set out to change that. Sophie Warwick has almost a decade of experience as a structural engineer and is the founder of The Thoughtful Co. The company creates a community for women in STEM and helps them thrive with individualized career coaching service offerings.
What You'll Learn:
* Should we get more women into STEM…or keep them in it?
* Two ways women can overcome gender challenges in the industry
* Corporate initiatives to keep more women in STEM
* The real definition of "diversity" — and it's not just race, gender, and sexual orientation
* Inequality signs that led Sophie to start her company to help women in engineering
* How The Thoughtful Co. helps women thrive in their STEM careers
* Two things Sophie wish she knew when she was just getting started in engineering
* Differences between men and women when applying to jobs
