According to the National Girls Collaborative Project, women make up half of the overall workforce, but just 34% of STEM positions. Women of color especially face some of the biggest hurdles in the industry. In 2022, BIPOC women made up less than 10% of the STEM U.S. workforce.
To close this gap, we need to do a better job of giving women the opportunity to lead so they can bring others along with them. There needs to be a shift and I’m calling on all leaders to take action.
