IET-WC strives to make a lasting contribution to society by ensuring that the young girls are motivated to take interest in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) subjects. It also ensures that the Women Engineers progress and advance in their skills and professionalism. As recommended by the World Economic Forum (2020), the Chapter actively promotes networking, mentorship, and recognition programs to empower women professionals at all stages of their careers.
Many students lack awareness about engineering and STEM careers, and even those who are academically bright often do not have sufficient information to make informed career decisions. The absence of female science teachers in schools further deprives girls of potential role models. Additionally, sessions require more time for comprehensive engagement, highlighting the need for dedicated career guidance personnel in schools. It's crucial to provide incentives to mission representatives, who make significant sacrifices by leaving their duties and families. Finally, securing additional sponsors is essential to sustain and expand the project's reach.
