SC Calhoun Coaching & Consulting

Companies are feeling the impact of the gender and minority gaps in STEM fields:

Clients are looking for business partners that reflect the population of their clients.
Companies not leveraging all employees are not fully benefitting the additional success of diversified teams.

IT companies are facing challenges of diversifying every level of the company:

Women make up 50% of the US work population but only represent 25% of workers in STEM fields. Additionally, minority Women (Black and Latina) make up only 2%.
Women are more likely to leave STEM fields due to: ineffectual feedback, isolation, and a work environment that was not conducive for them to thrive.
Despite their qualifications, female leaders are rare across all STEM fields, only 1 out of 10 board members is a woman.

The good news is we have solutions! We know that STEM fields are uniques. Using the knowledge of STEM professions, we will train your employees in the areas of personal development, career growth and leadership. Your employees will be empowered to maximize their skillsets, understand their career options and take on leadership roles.
