Why do we need mentoring for Women In STEM?

Despite women’s growing involvement in the tech industry, they still represent only 28% of the workforce—significantly lower than in other sectors (44%). This disparity highlights the need for targeted support to enhance the success and retention of women in tech.

Our Solution

Women 4 STEM launched mentor(SHE:) to directly address these challenges. Our program is designed to provide one-on-one mentoring that fosters confidence, enhances networking opportunities, and facilitates professional development specifically tailored for women in tech.

Program Goals

  • Build Confidence: Empower women to take on leadership roles and excel in their careers.
