Did you know 35% of all STEM students (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) are women? Despite progress, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, that’s nevertheless a rather troubling figure.
At The LK Group, we take pride in empowering women in STEM. Our commitment is reflected in our diverse workforce, with 42% of our team being women. Learn more about our initiatives to encourage and support women pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Indeed, we’re making progress in the provision of opportunities, empowering women in STEM fields. However, under-representation of women and girls persists. In particular, in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. To achieve sustainable development goals, we must ensure both full and equal access for women/girls to and participation in science.
Here at The LK Group, we are immensely proud of our balanced workforce of both young and experienced team members. In fact, currently, 42% are women!
