A group of female engineers and colleagues from IED have promoted and launched a new project aimed at promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers among women.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Although there is an increasing female presence in this type of careers, and in companies, the ratio is still low. We have to break stereotypes of the past <\/strong>and promote technology careers among women from school. Getting to know a real company, such as IED, is a good practice to visualize the attractiveness of these professions and break this existing gender gap”, says Mar\u00eda Beloqui, Head of Business Development at IED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a first action, IED has already received the first group of 4th year ESO students from Eunate and Iturrama High Schools, who were able to learn first-hand about the main R&D projects being carried out by the company. “We found it a very inspiring day in which we understood much more about what an engineering company is like,” said the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through visits to the company, talks in schools and training activities,<\/strong> the IED employees will continue to bring STEM careers closer to the professionals of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IED professionals will participate in different activities to inculcate science […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commitment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
