A Conversation with Women in STEM
We understand the importance and value of encouraging Nevada’s next generation of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) professionals. Join us as we chat with some of the leading ladies of STEM. Learn about the challenges and triumphs for women in traditionally male-led professions.
Women in STEM often face a challenging set of circumstances that can alter their educational journey and career path. Although women make up more than half the college-educated workforce, only 28% of the STEM workforce is women.
