Background
Women in STEM-related industries across
Southeast Asia face a variety of challenges that reduce entry, retention and
advancement in these industries. First,
for a variety of reasons fewer women tend to enter the vocational training
programmes related to these sectors.
Second, those that do often face challenges of placement vis a vis their
male counterparts, due to gender bias in the hiring processes of firms. Once within firms, women employees in these
industries are typically faced with challenges both within their firms and from
societal expectations, resulting in a higher tendency to drop out higher rates
than males. And finally, they often are
overlooked in terms of career advancement, at both the lower levels and with
regard to their moving into senior managerial roles. In general, there are a paucity of tools and
approaches that systematically address these shortcomings in the STEM-related
labour markets of the region.
The ILO’s Women in STEM Workforce Readiness
Program will attempt to address these issues, coupling demand-led technical
STEM skills and employability and enterprise-level leadership training to
transition: 1) underprivileged female secondary or post-secondary TVET
graduates into sustainable entry-level STEM positions with career prospects; 2)
under-employed women in STEM-related fields upgrade their skills to move up to
mid-level STEM employment; and 3) mid-level women working in STEM fields into
leadership/managerial roles.
Working in the Automotive sector in Indonesia
– these efforts will develop and institutionalize industry tools that will be
integrated into the training programmes and human resource practices of
training institutions supporting and firms in STEM-related industries. The project will seek to strengthen linkages
between private sector firms in STEM sectors, social partner institutions and
vocational training centres to ensure greater opportunity through higher entry,
retention and advancement of women workers in STEM related positions.
