Now, a leader must be able to connect with their team and support every member’s career aspirations and growth.

A closer look at the numbers shows that the STEM+ industries have learned to talk the talk, but they still need support to implement real change. In the US, women only make up  34% of the science and engineering workforce  and are twice more likely than women in other industries to quit their jobs.
