During the COVID 19 pandemic, we embarked on a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) Careers Pathways project which was delivered by CareBlue Training and Tutoring Services. This Project was designed to enable and encourage young BAME Muslim women, aged between 11-19 years old to explore and engage in educational and employment opportunities across STEM career pathways, with the support of their mothers.
This was delivered through three 30/45-minute online webinars focusing on experiences and inspirations by BAME women careers as programmers, engineers, scientists, and astronomers with the support of our current young BAME women on undergraduate/postgraduate courses sharing their reasons why they chose their own STEM career pathway. They offered an insight into their current experiences to help inspire these young BAME female Muslim participants so their mothers can provide them with support mechanism for them to go into their STEM careers.
