"Before working with NGCP, it was time consuming and exhausting to navigate the glut of information out there regarding STEM for girls. Because STEM is only a portion of what I do in my job, it really wasn’t time well spent. I place great value and get a huge return on the time invested in attending NGCP events."

Building Equity for Aerospace Training: Inspirational Stories and Strategies to Engage Girls

PT

Aerospace companies have struggled to meet existing needs for skilled technical workers and this gap between industry needs and qualified candidates is expected to grow. The number of technicians needed to do aircraft inspections, preventive and routine maintenance, and repairs greatly exceeds the number of students who choose an education in avionics. Young women in high school continue to be less likely than young men to choose to enter or to stay in career and technical education classes tied to these careers.

Scaling STEM Equitably: Practitioner Driven Reflections and Emerging Guidelines

In May 2023, practitioners across the informal STEM landscape gathered in Washington, D.C., to challenge the ways we conventionally scale informal STEM programs and collaboratively brainstorm new paths forward that center equity.
