International Day of Women & Girls in Science
This Friday, February 11, 2022, is the United Nations – International Day of Women and Girls in Science. At RHT Energy, we are excited to celebrate the women on our team working in the field of energy efficiency. And, we also celebrate all the great women we work with in manufacturing, agriculture, commercial construction, architecture, and engineering. We know your pathways might not have always been easy.
“A significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. Even though women have made tremendous progress towards increasing their participation in higher education, they are still under-represented in these fields.” -https://www.un.org/en/observances/women-and-girls-in-science-day
Engineering and the energy industry are tremendous career paths we encourage any girl or woman to consider a career in the energy industry. We celebrate all the women that are using Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to solve complex problems. Engineering is a way to build a stronger community, business, and world!
