Why outreach
❑Girls’ default mode of thinking is STEM = MALEhttps://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/03/what-we-learn-from-50-years-of-asking-children-to-draw-scientists/556025/
❑Scientist was girls’ 5th most popular dream jobhttps://industrialstrategy.blog.gov.uk/2019/03/14/a-career-in-science-is-now-a-dream-jobs-for-girls/
❑STEM is difficult (60% of girls) or more for the boys (47%)http://www.cityam.com/224593/most-girls-think-stem-subjects-are-too-difficult-them-learn
❑Girls’ interest peaks at 11 but wanes by 15https://blogs.microsoft.com/firehose/2017/03/01/microsoft-study-in-europe-reveals-when-and-why-girls-interest-in-stem-fields-begins-to-wane/
❑Make a differencehttps://www.ccl.org/blog/what-women-want-work/
Outreach is important!
Why outreachhttps://industrialstrategy.blog.gov.uk/2019/03/14/a-career-in-science-is-now-a-dream-jobs-for-girls/
Why we need girls at the start of the Pipeline
❑Skills shortage – costing £1.5bn per yearhttps://www.stem.org.uk/stem-skills-shortage
❑1 in 5 girls studying A Level physicshttps://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/statistics/core-stem-graduates-2018/
❑26% of core STEM graduates are female❑GCSE computing – gender gap – fifth of entrants are
femalehttps://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/whose-skills-whose-future-on-the-digital-skills-pipeline/
❑Tech jobs increase – 175,000 by mid 2020s.
Benefits of outreach programmes
❑Mutual benefit for companies and girlshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4742226/
❑Better gender diversity is good for businesshttps://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/HR/HR02200.pdf
❑5 times less likely to become NEEThttps://www.educationandemployers.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/media_release_neets_-_02.02.2012_final.pdf
❑How STEM skills are used in workhttps://curve.coventry.ac.uk/open/items/e1c2517a-3117-4ef4-b818-870cfdcd8677/1/
❑Girls are far more likely than boys to want to see physics being applied in context

My Skills My Life
After you’ve created your character, the quiz begins!
Drag your character to the answer you feel best
represents you.
You can click on ‘view’ to read
about your personality types
in more detail!

Scroll down to see the other
personality types!
When viewing your personality types, you can view role models who also have that personality type.
If you scroll down further, you can also see job roles which suit this personality
type too!
…There are 6 sub-headings with answers to different
questions…
If you want to browse the other role models, click ‘Explore’ in the side bar.
By using the filter option here, you can filter by company, job role or
personality type.

Company Profiles
This is what a company
profile looks like…
These boxes are where
the information you

will go.
To create your own profile, you will need to click ‘My
Role Model Profile’, followed by ‘Actions’ and then
‘Edit’.
STEM ambassador quote:
• Rosie Mawdsley – STEM Ambassador Hub Manager for Greater Manchester“I feel the new format is so clear and straightforward that more ambassadors will feel confident to lead the sessions themselves. They have always been interested to support as role models but it would be great to see more of them setting up and running their own sessions at work and at local schools/groups. I think the new format will help to achieve this increase.”
Company Profiles
On the profiles, there is also
space for useful links and for
photos provided by you.
Towards the bottom of the company profile page, you can view all of the role
models who are linked to that particular company.
The company logo will
then appear at the top of
all role model profiles that
are linked to it.
