The engineering sector is widely seen as a male-dominated profession. Despite the array of gender diversity initiatives employers have implemented to increase the access and participation of women in in engineering, only 51.2% of women with engineering qualifications take up engineering roles, making up only 11.8% of the engineering workforce. Needless to say, the percentage of female leaders representing senior management roles in organisations are even lower.
As the leaky pipeline of women in the engineering profession is causing considerable impact and loss to Australia’s economy, organisations must take proactive approaches to nurture female leaders for the future towards business success. Within this context, women in engineering must also refine critical leadership skill-sets to command both technical excellence and business performance.
Building on the resounding success of the past years’ events, The 3rd Annual Women in Engineering Leadership Summit 2015 aims to navigate the unique challenges faced by female engineers in the journey of advancing into senior leadership roles. Featuring an outstanding speaker faculty, this year’s interactive Summit will provide delegates with key insights from award-winning senior female engineers and leaders. The Summit will inspire and empower women to achieve the career they desire and succeed in the dynamic engineering sector.
