The number of women in STEM apprenticeships remains at shockingly low levels, despite the concerted efforts of employers and the 600 organisations working in STEM outreach. The percentage of women doing a STEM apprenticeship has remained static since 2012 with just 2% in construction; 3% in engineering and 10% in IT.

Research by Prudential in May 2017 shows just what an uphill battle we are facing. Six out of 10 school leavers believe apprenticeships are in sectors with mainly male workforces; one in three parents say apprenticeships are suited to boys; and female students think most opportunities are in nursing, healthcare and childcare.

Yet a few pockets of excellence show girls do want these apprenticeships – EDF is already managing to increase female STEM recruitment to around a third. It can be done.

With the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy and employers significantly scaling-up their apprenticeship programmes in 2017, with hiring expected to increase by 59%, now is the perfect time to use this Toolkit to bring talented women into your organisation through apprenticeships.

This toolkit shares best practice, expertise and case studies of employers and our three organisations – covering how to ATTRACT, ENGAGE, SUPPORT and RETAIN women in STEM apprenticeships. And signposts you to the support, bespoke training and advice available from our organisations.

Let’s change the face of apprenticeships. Find out more about us here.

"Unite welcomes this excellent resource. With just 2% women craft apprentices in construction speaks for itself yet I am confident this can change. I suggest two steps. Firstly scale up apprenticeship offers and secondly drive the selection system through positive action. The WISE toolkit gives a clear steer on how this can be achieved. We know the productivity benefits of a diverse workforce and an extra push to encourage and then support women applicants is common sense."

Unite Assistant General Secretary, Gail Cartmail

Companies and organisations are finding innovative ways to encourage women to apply for apprenticeships in the STEM industry. If companies change job descriptions – from technician to “customer service technician” or from plain engineer to “design engineer”, more women apply. “It sounds simplistic but women see themselves as creative or as ‘people’ people,” Keep reading

Helen Wollaston, chief executive of WISE - How to encourage women to apply for apprenticeships in STEM

What are people saying?

"In addition to a general shortage of people choosing to pursue STEM or technical careers, there are disproportionately few women who do so...it is vital that we have organisations and employers working alongside us if we are to make real progress in this area"

Rt Hon Anne Milton, Minister of State for Apprenticeships and Skills, and Minister for Women

What are people saying?

"If all those companies employing apprentices make a commitment to action, working with WISE, sharing your experience with others, I think it would have a significant impact."

HRH The Princess Royal, Patron of WISE

What are people saying?

"At pixiv稳定梯子, we understand the importance of encouraging and inspiring women to lead fulfilling careers in engineering. It’s not about being nice. A diverse workforce drives business performance, so an increase in women choosing STEM careers means a wider talent pool for the industry, and brings a broader perspective to our business. Building on our long-standing relationship with WISE and the success of previous collaborations, such as the People Like Me project, the Apprenticeship Toolkit is a valuable asset to employers striving to increase diversity in their workforce.”

Archie Bethel, CEO of Babcock International Group

Jaguar Land Rover announce record number of apprentices

Jaguar Land Rover have announced that they have more than doubled the number of women starting on their engineering apprenticeship programme. The number of female apprentice engineers has risen from 30 to 75, approximately a third of new apprentices, and Jaguar Land Rover expecting this number to continue increasing.

Women on STEM Apprenticeships 2015/16

While the number of women achieving a STEM apprenticeship has increased by 250 (6% growth on the previous year) the overall percentage has dropped. This is because the number of men has increased by just over 5,300, an increase of 10%. The number of women starting a STEM apprenticeship is more encouraging as there are 1240 more than the previous year.

Helen Wollaston, Chief Executive, WISE Campaign

"More and more women are choosing digital, scientific, engineering and construction apprenticeships. They love the work and are good at it. Use the Toolkit to access a bigger talent pool for your business."

Anne Watson, Chief Executive, Semta

"We have uncovered inspiring women doing great things in STEM and engineering, yet the UK has the lowest percentage of female engineering professionals in Europe. This Toolkit will help you and the UK build a better balanced, more diverse, talented and productive workforce."

Nick Baveystock, Director General, Institution of Civil Engineers

"ICE sees many great women on civil engineering apprenticeships. Many more should take up those opportunities for themselves, for the engineering profession and for the benefits that engineering brings to the public. The Toolkit can help bring about that change."
