Only 26% of the STEM workforce industry in the UK are women, according to the 2022 to 2023 data reported by STEM Women.

It's so vital that we continue to attract more women and girls to the workforce.

100% of our 2022-23 data cohort said the programme improved their employability and workplace skills.

For businesses, this means they have access to work-ready, professional graduates who are eager to make an impact.

A winning outcome for both graduates and employers.

We are grateful that so many of our graduates have been and continue to be huge advocates of the programme.
