About us

We introduce inspiring graduate employers to our STEM Women communities through graduate careers events, job board, sourcing and digital marketing services. We are proud to help contribute to a more diverse and inclusive STEM workforce of the future. 

Who we are

Since 2018, we have been hosting networking and careers events for STEM students and recent graduates. We have become the market leader within this niche and growing sector, partnering with clients and universities based in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Benelux Region, Australia, and New Zealand.

We are an established SME with nine team members, and we work in a friendly, collaborative, and supportive environment. Our business is growing each year because of increased demand from our UK and overseas clients.

2018 - How it all started

The first STEM Women event took place in February 2018 at The London Transport Museum. With DEI – and, in particular, gender diversity – becoming a key challenge for many employers, these events connected these companies with talented female STEM students and recent graduates.

2019 - Our community grows

Our events became increasingly popular with students and employers. During 2018 and 2019 we held further events in London, Manchester, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol and Birmingham.

2020 - events move online

In response to the global pandemic, in 2020 we pivoted to online events, enabling students and graduates to connect with STEM employers and hear from inspirational role models in a virtual environment.

 

2021 - a virtual community

With the increasing demand for virtual events, we expanded our offer to cover sector-specific events such as engineering, tech and financial services.

 

2022 - hybrid events

In 2022 we ran a combination of virtual, in-person and hybrid careers events, and we launched a global careers portal that offered job hunters access to opportunities throughout the year.

2023 - new locations

In 2023 we hosted events in new locations including Leeds and Belfast, as our flagship events in London and Dublin went from strength to strength.

 

2024 - our 100th event!

In 2024 we are hosting in-person events across the UK, Ireland, Europe and Australia. Our STEM Women community continues to grow as we have now hosted 114 events!
