SUMMARY:International Women in Engineering Day
DESCRIPTION:Why Celebrate International Women in Engineering Day?\nAs of 2024\, women make up approximately 15.7% of the engineering workforce in the UK\, a slight decline from 16.5% in 2022. This represents a setback in efforts to increase gender diversity in the field. The drop is particularly concerning given that many women\, especially those aged 35 to 44\, are leaving the profession\, often due to work-life balance challenges\, lack of career progression\, and an unsupportive work environment. (stats: wes.org.uk/ engineers.scot) \nInternational Women in Engineering Day began in the UK in 2014 and is celebrated on June 23rd every year.  The occasion aims to promote their achievements\, highlight the importance of a diverse workforce\, and encourage the next generation of women into STEM careers. In combination with the Women’s Engineering Society\, International Women in Engineering Day seeks to unite government\, education\, and corporate engineering institutions to raise the profile of engineering as an exciting career choice for women. \n#INWED25\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nFind an Inspirational Female Speaker for Women in Engineering Day\nAt Great British Speakers\, we are proud to work alongside a team of professional female STEM speakers.
