Women with the desire, skills, and ability can enter and succeed in any stream or profession that she wishes. However, it is depressing to find that most of the women after attaining their qualification in technology and science make a U-turn, not to return. Recently, many organizations all around the world have launched campaigns and taken initiatives to increase the women in the engineering field. The world needs women with higher capabilities and problem-solving skills. Here, are the ways to encourage and attract women towards the engineering field:

Promoting Girls towards the Sector in Early Age

Several organizations are into the practice of promoting girls in the sector by encouraging them to choose right subjects. They are also dedicated to inform and explain the rewarding opportunities available to women in the sector. There are organizations who invite a huge number of female graduates and provide them with essential training and remarkable career options.

Creation of Flexible Work Culture

Women are usually surrounded by family responsibilities to look after. So, it is significant to ascertain flexible working environment which will act as a key to attract women in the engineering sector. Since we have technology that works beyond the geographical boundaries and people work to meet the need of employers sitting in any part of the world. Thus, it is possible to offer women with flexible work culture to give a boost in their career options and involve women in the very important sector.

Arrival of More Engineering Campaigns

It is also possible to encourage women towards the sector through targeted campaigns such as The Institute of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) award namely, Young Woman of the Year in the UK where women are rewarded as the supporting partners. Involvement of such popular campaigns will increase women interest and action towards Engineering. In addition, business and schools can collaborate and work towards raising women awareness in engineering.

Eradication of Discrimination and Biased Behaviour

Recruiting of women would easily take place if they were present on selection panels. Elaborately, women usually do not appear for job selection or are not present to get shortlisted. All form of prejudiced thinking should abandon to make sure no discrimination takes place and women are able to make their way to better opportunities.
There is much of work involved in guiding girls and explaining them career-enhancing jobs in the field of engineering. Therefore, the complete engineering field must be widened and should direct the jobs to them so that, female population is present in the suitable number at all the levels.
