Science and STEM jobs overall are hot. Here's how to remove assumptions and barriers to pursue this field:
Share to linkedinIt impacts everyone, solves the world’s problems and ironically, there’s a disconnect: a skills gap equating to a shortage of professionals pursuing careers in science and STEM. This is juxtaposed with a strong demand and continued growth in a field that fuels innovation and offers job security.
Turns out, Seth's elementary school-aged daughter’s baking project essentially became a science project. “Then she won at the state! She was like, ‘Oh I like this, but I don’t like science.’ Even as a little girl, she identified science as something that was unattainable or perhaps her gender and this is fundamentally the issue.
Couric explains, “Afterwards, when the caregivers were told about the experiment, they could not believe how gendered their behavior was towards these little children. From an early age we’re conditioned to make these associations that science is for boys or for white males and that these careers are kind of off limits for certain people. I think we have to be super cognizant that we can start separating these implicit associations we make with people and careers.
Then there’s the genius factor, too. Over 80% respondents in the survey said that it’s important for everybody to know science or have that rudimentary mindset and yet they feel uncomfortable and they lack confidence. So, if you’re thinking about a career change, every job in this field of demand doesn’t require workers to have earned their Ph.D. In fact, aexamined the STEM workforce from 1990 to 2016 and revealed that 36% of STEM workers have not completed a bachelor’s or higher-level degree.
