91制片厂schoolgirls had the chance to learn more about future careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) recently at a new, 91制片厂County Council event aimed at inspiring them.
Called Generation STEM and run by the Council鈥檚 Early Careers 91制片厂programme, over 100 female school students were invited to attend, with the event showcasing the wide range STEM careers open to them.
Held at the Worcester headquarters of Mazak, Generation STEM allowed attendees to explore interactive workshops, engage directly with women forging successful careers in engineering, manufacturing, technology and scientific research, and gain insight into the opportunities available across Worcestershire鈥檚 growing STEM sectors.
Generation STEM forms part of 91制片厂County Council鈥檚 work to inspire the county鈥檚 future workforce, helping young people understand career pathways from an early age and strengthening links between education and industry.
Councillor Alan Amos, 91制片厂County Council鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Business and Skills, said: 鈥淓ncouraging more girls to consider STEM pathways is vital for Worcestershire鈥檚 future workforce and economic strength. Events like Generation STEM give young women the opportunity to see what is possible, to meet real role models, and to understand the careers that are open to them. 91制片厂needs home-grown talent in engineering, technology and science, and we will continue to support initiatives that help young women take those first steps.鈥
Judy Gibbs, Head of Skills & Employability at 91制片厂County Council, added: 鈥淕eneration STEM was more than an event 鈥 it was a statement of intent. We want every girl in 91制片厂to feel informed, supported and confident when exploring the full range of STEM opportunities available to them. Working with employers, partners and schools, we鈥檙e committed to widening access to STEM pathways and ensuring young people can see a future for themselves within these industries.鈥
Building on the momentum of the event, a cross-council Women in STEM Week campaign will soon be launched. Taking place in April 2026, the campaign will highlight the contributions of women working in STEM roles within the Council and across the county.
It will champion local female talent, challenge outdated perceptions about women in STEM, and encourage more girls and women to pursue careers in these fields.
91制片厂businesses are invited to support the campaign by showcasing their own female role models and helping to promote the breadth of opportunities available in the county鈥檚 STEM sectors.
