What makes STEM Women virtual events different?

STEM Women host careers events for students and recent graduates across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Australia. Alongside face-to-face careers events, our virtual fairs facilitate networking between employers and potential candidates.
But what makes a STEM Women virtual event different? Take a look at just some of the unique features of our events.
We target women and non-binary people in STEM
You may have guessed from our name, but STEM Women focuses on addressing the gender imbalance in STEM industries. Our events are targeted towards individuals who are women or non-binary and are students or recent graduates in STEM. At our recent events, the most popular courses studied by attendees were Computer Science and Data subjects (27%), followed by Engineering related disciplines (22%). Our events open doors for women who are interested in pursuing a career within a STEM industry and help to build a strong community of women in STEM.
UK wide
Our virtual events cover the whole of the UK. Take a look at our event listings for more information.
Sector specific events
Alongside the general STEM careers events, we often host sector specific events, focussing on industries in STEM such as tech, engineering or financial services.
Innovative and easy to use platform
Our virtual events will take place on an easy-to-use platform powered by VFairs. Each employer will have a virtual event stand showcasing their branding along with their permanent or placement opportunities. During the event employers can engage with students the chat function. They can also deliver live speaker sessions that can be viewed by attendees.
Discover new opportunities
On the event days, attendees will be able to view job specifications and apply for roles, internships and placements that companies have added to their stand.
Bespoke candidate sourcing
For each STEM Women event, our talented team source a balanced pool of attendees that appeal specifically to the employers attending the event. However, we also offer companies the option of bespoke events, where they are the sole recruiter. For these bespoke events, the employer can specify preferred course split, graduation year, location and the number of candidates. Our team will then source and invite suitable, high calibre attendees to the event and arrange everything for you.
Outstanding feedback and success rate
STEM Women have hosted 90+ events and are proud that they have led to hundreds of students finding internships, work placements and permanent graduate jobs. Each year we receive glowing feedback from both employers and students highlighting our innovative approach and effectiveness at facilitating meaningful networking. We can’t wait to introduce even more employers to our female STEM communities this coming Autumn.
