GirlsGetSET’s Post

Today, in honor of International Women in Engineering Day, we take a moment to spotlight the incredible achievements and contributions of women in the field of engineering. As the world becomes more digital and interconnected, the demand for STEM skills and competencies will continue to grow. Women in STEM have the opportunity and the responsibility to shape the future of industry and to ensure that it is ethical, responsible, and beneficial for all. Within our organization, our teams are energizing change for women in engineering through collaborations with our Women's Network ERG and initiatives such as GirlsGetSET, which is designed to encourage young girls to pursue careers in STEM. Engineering is for everyone, and we need more diverse perspectives and voices to solve the world's energy challenges. Join us in celebrating the pioneers of the past, the trailblazers of today, and the change-makers of tomorrow. #INWED #INWED2024 #STEM #WomenInEngineering #DEI #WeAreBakerHughes

Inspiring the next generations of girls! 👩🏼🎓👧🏽 We partnered with GirlsGetSET and Baker Hughes in a special programme that opens to STEM educational and career opportunities for schoolgirls, hosting the visit of classes from Istituto Baricco and Maria Ausiliatrice to our plant and laboratories. In this new story, our professionals along with the professors and students recount how they lived this experience! #weareavioaero #womenintech #girlsgetset #STEM https://bit.ly/3zfhXVs

STEM and "The Scully Effect"   We are cloning sheep, developing vaccines to stop the spread of disease, and running some of the largest corporations but women are still under-represented. There are many reasons that drive a student to their final career destination but there are also stumbling blocks to get there.   In the UK, the statistics are clear, students like science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). They find it interesting and are doing well but why is there so few taking the finals steps toward STEM subjects as final careers, particularly women? Confidence!    Recently, a 2018 paper has resurfaced that has maneuvered the STEM conversation into a whole new galaxy. We can thank a large broadcasting company for funding a survey to see if what people watched affected their future ambitions. The answer is a loud “Yes” with a couple of strong women leading the charge.    According to her online CV, Dana Katherine Scully had an undergraduate degree in physics from the University of Maryland and an M.D. from Stanford before being recruited by the FBI. This fictional forensic pathologist has been pivotal in a generation of girls looking toward the sciences as a career option. According to the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, 63% of women said that Scully increased their belief in the importance of STEM and 43% considering working in STEM fields.   Although The X-Files has not been on our TVs for a while, numerous new role models have appeared to fill the void. The various scientists sprinkled through crime investigation shows and being intellectually equal to their partners in various genres, mould strong role models with realistic goals.   This report also highlighted the importance of representation. In appreciation to all those girls that are graduating GirlsGetSET in June/July 2024, they're excitement about the sciences will show younger girls the importance of trying and not giving up. We can all find the aliens hiding in the woods!   Global statistics are supporting the change   In 2022/23, in the UK: 📢 only 31% percent of students were female 📢 female students enrolling into sciences has increased from 39% to 44% but has stayed the same in mathematic sciences and engineering. The numbers show that it will take 70 years to reach parity.   In the USA: 📊 24% of the workforce were employed in STEM occupations with only 20% of students enrolled in STEM sciences (2021/2022) 📊 in 2023, only 28% of employes are women women who hold the CIO or CTO role rose from 16% to 18% in 2019   Currently, only 16% of high school seniors are keen on pursuing STEM careers with 50% males interested in math and 43% females.   In 2021/22, in Brazil: 👧 only 17% of students are enrolled in STEM sciences 👧 women graduate as 37% of engineering technology and 14.6% of computer science.   With thanks to Ewa Ritchie xx Amy Everson Laura Barclay CEng MIMMM Kim Larham Jenny Cardoe #GirlsinSTEM #Scullyeffect #GirlsGetSET #wearebakerhughes

As one of those girls who had a strong inclination toward math and science while I was growing up, I often reflect on the important role that mentorship played in my career and in my life. That strong guidance from both women and men with the same mindset has had a lasting effect on who I am today. That’s why I’m so delighted to become the executive sponsor for the Baker Hughes GirlsGetSET program. For more than 14 years, GirlsGetSET has mentored and inspired 12,000+ girls to consider science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) as they make their career choices. Baker Hughes is committed to making energy affordable, sustainable, secure, and efficient – and attracting talented people to our industry is critical to making that happen. GirlsGetSET provides excellent first exposure to the honorable, exciting, and fulfilling careers they can have in energy. Over the coming months, I look forward to strengthening the Baker Hughes GirlsGetSET program and watching it grow. I’ll keep you posted! #WeAreBakerHughes #EnergizingChange #GirlsGetSET

📸So few photos to describe yesterday and our Baker Hughes GirlsGetSET italian pilot in Vibo Plant Park ⚙️ 🌸We celebrated Girls Day, the conclusion of our annualy activities ok GGS Project. During meetings with young #girls we tried to give them a board View of what our work is, what a #woman’s #career is, and the #relationship with #STEM subjects and #world. We also tried to give them an #inspiration and a point of reference. ⚙️♻️in this closing day girls, #schools and civil society #representatives have been our guests visiting park, #shop (Special thanks to Andrea Pasini), #museum, #canteen and our #gym. In addition, girls presented their #projects about “How to reduce the #carbon #footprint in my #school” which were developed with the support of Vibo Plant colleagues Anna Kum Fleri Virginia Caruso Frezza Roberta Monteleone Giusy Raimondo 🥳♻️we then concluded the morning with a #treasurehunt on the theme of #sustainability which included activities such as #planting #flowers in the park, sorting #waste properly, and a focus on #electric #cars. The winning group was awared a “pigna d’oro”, a #sustainable #award that recalls the #roots of our #company.
