As we tackle the pressing challenge of 173,000 unfilled STEM roles in the UK, it's crucial to recognise the power of social mobility to bridge this gap. By creating opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, we can foster a more inclusive and diverse STEM workforce. I’m incredibly proud of the work we do at In2scienceUK. Our programmes—In2STEM, In2research, and In2careers—are changing lives by providing hands-on work placements, mentoring, and skills workshops. The results speak for themselves: a high percentage of our participants are securing university offers and embarking on rewarding STEM careers. The tech industry also has a pivotal role to play. It's inspiring to see efforts to improve gender parity and socioeconomic diversity, encouraging more women and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue STEM careers. Diverse teams drive innovation and success, benefiting everyone. Investing in STEM education and career pathways is more than just filling vacancies— it's about building a brighter, fairer future for all. Let's support and amplify these initiatives, ensuring everyone has the chance to thrive in STEM. Join me in championing opportunities and breaking barriers in STEM. Together, we can make a lasting impact! 💪✨ #STEM #SocialMobility #DiversityInTech #Inclusion #Education #FutureOfWork #In2scienceUK #STEMEducation

In the era of digital revolution where world is becoming smaller and a lot of new technologies are being launched simultaneously. The ongoing saga of science revolution amongst girls and women has produced ripples of excitement in the industry and academia! Therefore, to make a developed Nigeria and to match the speed of these above mentioned challenges joint efforts from Industry and NGO are required especially in these times of global turmoil, we see the importance of assisting girls in underrepresented communities, specifically within STEAM fields.

My Skills My Life is a ground-breaking outreach resource created by WISE Campaign. It is unlike any other career tool out there – rather than focusing on the careers themselves, role models form the core of the resource by showcasing brilliant women working in STEM to your pupils. My Skills My Life shows girls that people just like them are happy and successful working in science, technology, or engineering. By delivering My Skills My Life, your organisation can engage directly with the next generation of STEM talent. We are offering training in the My Skills My Life approach, allowing this tool to be delivered as part of your organisation’s outreach work. My Skills My Life is designed to be complementary to and supportive of other outreach programmes. The activity can be done as a standalone or in addition to other outreach activities as a hook for girls to see that STEM is for them. The 3-hour training workshop will equip you with the skills and resources to be able to run your very own My Skills My Life outreach sessions with young people.

Speaking at the OECD International Transport Forum on Women in STEM, emphasizing the importance of curriculum and educational design that creates opportunities for Women to progress in STEM careers. Of course, I'll be showcasing what we have been doing in Minecraft Education to support. Encouraging girls and women to pursue STEM careers ensures that we use diverse talents and different approaches to tackle complex challenges. It allows us to tap into an underutilized talent pool, expanding the workforce and ensuring that the best minds, irrespective of gender, drive advancements in science and technology.

Today, on International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, let's stand together to end this harmful practice and ensure the safety and dignity of women and girls worldwide. Education, particularly in IT, plays a pivotal role in empowering women.

IT education not only enhances their employability but also fosters confidence and independence, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to their communities and break barriers. Let's invest in education to empower women and create a future where every woman and girl can thrive, free from harmful practices and empowered to pursue their dreams. #EndFGM #WomenEmpowerment #EducationForAll #Training #javadeveloper  #Corporate #corporatetrainings #coachingprofesional #corporateinnovation #digitalamarketing #webdevelopmentinternship #webdevelopment
