Topic:
“Attracting and Retaining Women in Oil and Gas Engineering”
Carolyn Stewart will speak about a new report recently launched by NES Global Talent, the manpower provider, highlighting the key issues and challenges women face in the global oil and gas industry and flagging possible solutions to tackle the gender gap.
The report ‘Attracting and retaining women in oil and gas engineering – a survey examining the gender talent gap’, highlights the myriad of pathways women are taking to find careers in oil and gas, underscoring the opportunities the sector has to cross-train from ancillary industries as well as non-traditional disciplines.
The report also shows that in order to attract and retain female workers, the industry needs to improve its ability to provide mentorship, recognize workers equally and highlight the benefits of studying STEM subjects in schools and universities.
NES Global Talent is committed to supporting women in the oil and gas engineering sector and working with its clients to help drive up the numbers of women working in the industry.
