Women in STEM

A comprehensive eight-week internship program plus, exclusively for female students in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. TGS works with local hosts keen to support the increased employment of women in their industries.  This global internship is designed to give students a real and practical view into the inner workings of industry and also to introduce local women in leadership roles who support and empower women in traditionally male dominated fields. Dinner discussions and networking events will provide inspiration, a deeper knowledge of industry at a regional level, and an awareness of cultural issues that impact women in STEM at a local level.
