A Bolder Way Forward STEM Fields Spoke

Education

Working to ensure Utah girls & women have a choice to pursue opportunities in STEM & other nontraditional female fields.

About us

Nationally and locally, fewer women obtain STEM-related college degrees and work in STEM-related occupations, and they leave STEM careers once employed at disproportionate rates compared to men. Because of this, the US and Utah STEM workforce remains predominantly male. Significant disparities also exist for women within trade industries in Utah (such as manufacturing and construction). The STEM Fields spoke focuses on strengthening the interest in and economic impact of women in science, technology, engineering, math, and trade industries by focusing on sustainable strategies, initiatives, and programs at every stage of the talent pipeline. The entities and individuals aligned with this spoke are interested in creating classrooms (K-12 to higher education) and workplace environments focused on inclusivity and high performance in these “non-traditional” fields. Women and girls thrive when they believe in their inherent ability, have the choice to pursue career opportunities in STEM or other nontraditional female fields, and can do so successfully.
