Inclusive Leadership Webinar Series: Women Breaking Glass Ceilings in STEM

Moving into the future, every occupation will require #STEM #skills, and women continue to face challenges in the male-dominated STEM industry. If we want gender equity, we must address the barriers that prevent women from entering and progressing in STEM professions, including workplace cultures, lack of role models and mentorship opportunities, current branding of the industry, gender-based stereotypes and stigmas. This webinar panel is a group of women who have succeeded in a STEM career despite all odds and have “broken the glass ceiling.” We explored success factors and barriers at the individual, organizational and societal levels through recent research.
