Hempel A/S colleagues: Inspiring the next generation of scientists 🚀 The global skills gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is a pressing issue across many industries. And the coatings industry is no exception. Despite the rising number of STEM graduates, the demand for skilled professionals continues to outpace supply, with significant gender disparities. In the EU, for example, there are nearly twice as many men in STEM jobs compared to women 👨🏽🔬👨🏽🔬👩🏽🔬 ✨ Growing the talent pool, by inspiring more girls and women to pursue a career in STEM, is crucial to addressing the gap. That’s why initiatives like Science Girls by Science City Lyngby are so important. The Science Girls club helps girls aged 13-19 see the positive impact of STEM in solving local and global challenges 🔬🌍 It’s a welcoming community where girls visit companies to: 💡meet role models who share their passion for science; and  💡be inspired about where their interest in science can take them. The Science Girls visited the Hempel Campus and met Hempel colleagues Apichaya Kunin, Laboratory Technician, Amalie Trige Pedersen, Senior Project Manager, Zoi Lamprakou, Ph.D., R&D Scientist, Alessia Burraschini, Laboratory Technician, and Mercedes Luna Mateo, R&D Manager, Wind Blades, led by Camilla Holmberg, Lab Manager. Together, our colleagues showed the Science Girls how our coatings are made and how they protect our customers’ most valuable assets 🛡️ 🙏🏽 Thank you to the Science Girls and Science City Lyngby’s Tanja Kathleen Benzon Monk and Anéh Christina Hajdu for stopping by. And thank you to our fantastic colleagues for helping to inspire the next generation of scientists! 🌟 #FutureOfWork #STEM #WomenInSTEM

Engineering the Pipeline: The Times' article today on women in engineering highlights a critical disconnect: while 24% of UK engineering graduates are women, only 16.5% of working engineers are female. This stark drop-off isn't just about encouraging STEM education - it's about creating genuine pathways to professional success. I've been fortunate to witness this journey from both sides. At my previous school The UCL Academy and my current school North London Collegiate School, its been so exciting to witness significant increases in girls choosing engineering qualification pathways over the past decade. Yet despite record numbers of young women earning engineering degrees (a 12% increase since 2010), the industry is still losing this talent. Recently, one of our talented students, despite her significant efforts, struggled to secure an engineering work placement. This is where companies like Whitby Wood, with Sebastian Wood and his team at the helm, are making a real difference. With only 13% of engineering managers being women, they understand that bridging this gap requires active collaboration between schools and industry. It's not enough to inspire girls to study engineering - we need to ensure they can see and access clear career paths. NLCS Ideas Hub is committed to strengthening these vital school-industry partnerships. We're launching an "Engineering: The Future" conference in the summer term, bringing together educators and industry leaders to address exactly these challenges. In addition, our own students are next week hosting a STEM focused networking event for over 200 students from 8 different partner schools. The UK needs 203,000 new engineers annually to meet demand - we can't afford to lose women from the engineering pipeline. The conversation needs to shift from "How do we get more girls into engineering studies?" to "How do we ensure women engineers thrive in their careers?". Schools and companies must work together to create sustainable pathways that support women from classroom to boardroom. #WomenInEngineering #STEM #Education #Innovation #Engineering

Celebrating Women in Engineering Day! Despite the progress, there's still a significant gender gap in STEM education. Only 35% of females choose to study STEM subjects post-GCSE, and this drops to 25% at university level. How can we change this? Showcasing female role models in STEM industries and having more female lecturers in universities can encourage girls to consider a career in STEM. -         Include more women in school career days. -         Employ more female lecturers in universities. Let's celebrate some inspirational women whose work has shaped our world: Margaret Hamilton - Pioneering software engineer for the Apollo moon landing; 🌖 Dr. Swati Mohan - Led the Guidance and Controls Operations on NASA's Mars 2020 mission; 🚀 Hedy Lamarr - Inventor of frequency-hopping technology (a method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly changing the carrier frequency among many frequencies), which underpins modern wireless communication, and paved the way for the foundation for today’s phones, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS; 📻 Ada Lovelace - Wrote the first algorithm, believed to be the first computer program, for Babbage’s Analytical Engine (generally considered the first ever computer design); 🖥 Emily Warren Roebling - Took over the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, first field engineer in the USA; 🌉 Yvonne Brill - Inventor of satellite thruster technology. 💥 Tag an inspirational woman in engineering! #WomenInSTEM #WomenInEngineering #T15International #StartYourJourney #WeRecruitInspiringTeachers #EducationRecruitment

Today marks International Women in Engineering Day #INWED2024. A day that has been celebrated for over ten years, and yet we’ve recently seen a drop in the percentage of #women in the sector (16.5% down to 15.7%). I've strived for over 20 years to make a difference and increase the number of females in #Engineering...its my passion to have a #diverse and #representative Engineering sector. I've been lucky enough to be employed throughout that time in various roles where I've been able to create impact. I've been involved in amazing initiatives out there increasing #attraction of females into the sector WorldSkills UK, F1 in Schools, The Manufacturer Top 100, National Apprenticeship Week, #kickstart and the brilliant sessions of Leanne Mee Most importantly #visibility and #representation matters. We must provide real life #rolemodels for the younger generation to understand the #variety of careers and to tell them first-hand about their experiences and how to get into the sector. I've worked with so many wonderful, talented and inspiring female #apprentices who are making a difference daily 👏 So #EnhancedByEngineering let's shout about the amazing opportunities and celebrate the initiatives to attract 🥳 Now in my new role with Enginuity I also want to look at #retention and how we can and #must make the sector a better place for female engineers to thrive. Aside from the obvious benefits of a more diverse workforce, increasing the number of women in engineering is vital for closing the #skillsgap. A decline in #apprenticeships, an ageing workforce, and continued misconceptions of what an engineering career is, have culminated in a growing skills shortage in the UK’s engineering industry. Increasing the number of women taking up and #staying in these roles could have a significant impact in reducing this labour shortage. I've a fair few years left working and I'd like to within the next ten years see FAR more growth. We need a target and we must achieve it. Let's double 16.5% ..and as it will be 2035 📣 35% females in engineering by 2035, we need faster and significant progress 🥳 #35 If you want to share your story see the link below and help us showcase the breadth of #talent and #opportunities
