EngineeringUK has released a new report which brings together the available evidence on interventions that aim to increase the engineering and technology career aspirations of girls.Despite some improvements, women still only make up 16.5% of the engineering workforce, compared with 47.7% of the overall workforce. Providing high-quality impactful STEM outreach activities for girls, therefore, is a vital part of addressing this issue.A summary of existing evidence, the report aims to inform programme design and delivery for STEM engagement practitioners and funders, and highlight any evidence gaps.
