The document is a speech about the need to increase diversity in engineering apprenticeships. It makes three key points:
1) Engineering currently lacks diversity, with just 12% of the workforce being female and 3% of apprenticeships going to women. This needs to change to address an upcoming skills shortage.
2) Messaging and perceptions of engineering need to be improved to attract more diverse applicants. Stereotypes are embedded from a young age and apprenticeship advertisements can unintentionally discourage women.
3) Workplaces must be inclusive and accommodating for a diverse workforce. Small changes can make employees from underrepresented groups feel more welcome and valued. Employers should focus on characteristics rather than gendered

Big Lies of Workforce presentation for Business Facilities magazine Webinaraljonesrdo
This document outlines 10 common misleading claims, or "big lies", that are often told about local workforces in an attempt to attract new businesses. Some of the key lies discussed include exaggerating the size and skills of the existing workforce, overstating the ability to quickly train new workers, underestimating true local pay rates, and ignoring issues like lack of affordable housing and existing employers who do not want to lose their best employees to new competitors. The document aims to help evaluators see through unrealistic portrayals of local workforce conditions and make more informed site selection decisions.
The document discusses how to present a case study. It begins with an overview of what case studies are and examples like Apple Computer. It then explains that case studies are useful for developing business students' analytical, cognitive, and team-building skills. The document outlines what makes a good case study, including types like historical and problem-oriented. It provides examples of case studies and discusses developing a case study, including writing the report with an executive summary, challenges, solutions, and visuals. The presentation aims to teach business students how to effectively analyze and present real-world case studies.
This magazine highlights women in STEM careers and encourages girls to pursue STEM fields. It features profiles of women like Erica Wagner, a rising STEM star who creates STEAM courses and reviews tech toys on her YouTube channel. It also profiles former teacher Angel Coleman and discusses strategies to get more girls interested in STEM, like providing hands-on learning, female role models, and encouraging spatial skills. The magazine aims to inspire girls by celebrating women who are excelling in STEM.
This presentation contains:
- The internship definition, German and America law, problematic points, case studies from across the world, stats, and solutions.
- Berlin startups' business model visualisation and the analysis.
- A lot of visual material such as: infographics, research data, comics, photo and video.
The document discusses freelancers as an economically viable market. It summarizes that there are over 100 million freelancers globally, comprising nearly 1/7 of the European population. It then addresses common myths about freelancers, such as that they are less wealthy or reliable than traditional employees. However, experienced freelancers can earn comparable or higher hourly wages. The document also notes the advantages freelancing provides, such as flexibility and mobility. While challenges exist, over half of freelancers report feeling secure in their work. The future of freelancing is predicted to involve growing numbers as technologies enable remote opportunities.
The article discusses the lack of women in the engineering industry and efforts being made to address it. While progress has been made in improving gender ratios in the workplace overall, engineering still has a long way to go. However, the industry has been taking significant steps, such as the work of Women in Science, Engineering and Technology (WiSET), to rectify the situation and encourage more women to enter the field. WiSET has found that a lack of confidence due to few other female role models remains a challenge in attracting women to engineering careers.
Terry Iverson, President and CEO of Iverson & Company, testified before the Small Business Subcommittee about the urgent need to address the skilled labor shortage in manufacturing. For over 30 years, manufacturers have struggled to find enough skilled workers to fill open positions. As baby boomers retire, there are not enough young people entering manufacturing careers. Iverson founded CHAMPIONNow! to change negative perceptions of manufacturing and encourage students to pursue manufacturing careers through partnerships with schools and highlighting success stories. CHAMPIONNow! aims to address this critical shortage threatening U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.

This document provides information about increasing access to computer science (CS) education for all students, especially girls and young women. It discusses how CS skills are important for today's world and careers. It provides tips on how to encourage more gender diversity in CS, such as providing role models, hands-on experiences, encouragement, focusing on growth mindset, and generating excitement about CS opportunities. The goal is for all students to have access to CS education to open doors to many career paths.
The document discusses the need for vision and innovation to drive real change in education. It notes that most failures occur during the descent from goals due to lack of sufficient preparation. Best practices allow improving existing work, while next practices develop new capabilities. The global achievement gap reflects teaching best versus next practices skills. Changing successful systems is difficult, yet innovators must consider multiple solutions. Experiments show kindergarteners outperform experts by prototyping versus single plans. Adapting education for the "Net Generation" requires new skills, learning styles, and technologies to motivate students.
Is there a conflict in agency staffing strategies? Agencies need broadly educated people to create big ideas. And they need craft trained people to implement those ideas. What should they look for in entry level hiring?
Here are some thoughts on this challenging question.
The document discusses the educational backgrounds of people entering the advertising industry and argues that a liberal arts education may be more valuable than a degree focused on advertising or communications. It notes that historically, people in advertising agencies had diverse educational experiences beyond just advertising. However, recently there has been a trend of people entering the field with advertising or communications degrees rather than liberal arts degrees. The document questions if this shift values training over education and if it will negatively impact the industry's ability to generate new ideas in the long run. It ultimately argues liberal arts educations provide a stronger foundation for careers in advertising.
The first article discusses research into factors that contribute to career success for women engineers in the UK. Five key themes emerged: 1) seeing family life as a constraint but keeping it separate from work, 2) showing determination through long hours and perseverance, 3) networking to raise their profile, 4) having mentors for guidance and support, and 5) competence being more important than diversity programs. The researchers found women had to work harder than men to be seen as capable. The second article discusses the lack of women in STEM careers being due to outdated perceptions, not discrimination. It argues for increasing the visibility of successful female innovators in media and culture to serve as role models and inspire more girls to pursue STEM careers.
This document discusses the lack of diversity in major projects and proposes some solutions. It notes that while increasing diversity is theoretically beneficial, it is difficult to achieve in practice due to occupational segregation and personal preferences. Occupational segregation develops from both supply side factors like education choices and discrimination, and demand side factors like unconscious bias in hiring. To increase diversity, the document suggests addressing both supply side factors through improved careers advice and flexible work, and demand side factors by removing bias in hiring. It also stresses the need to create environments where women feel comfortable being with other women.
This document summarizes the key findings from the Mortimer Spinks and ComputerWeekly Women in Technology Survey 2015, which collected responses from over 4,000 technology professionals. It finds that women make up just 14% of the average technology team, though both men and women report being happy in their tech careers. While career progression appears balanced between genders, there are some differences, such as fewer women describing themselves as senior team members and more as mid-level or junior. The industry remains deeply gender imbalanced. The survey aims to better understand these issues and promote discussion around improving diversity.
The document provides demographic information about participants in the Women in Technology Survey:
- 34% of participants were women, up 50% from the previous year.
- Most participants have worked in tech for 8-20 years, with about a third having more than 20 years experience.
- 69% work in permanent roles while 31% are contractors. Women represent 14% of the average tech team.
- Job satisfaction is very high, with 95% of women and 94% of men reporting that they are happy to have a career in tech.
- Women are more likely to describe themselves at junior or mid-level roles, while men describe themselves as more senior. Fewer women reach C-level positions.
HANDOUT The Moral Imperative for Creating a New Vision for Texas Public Educa...Chris Shade
This document summarizes a presentation given on creating a new vision for public education in Texas and Denton ISD. It discusses how the current education system is modeled after a 19th century factory model that is no longer suitable for 21st century learners. It argues schools need to shift away from compliance and standardization towards creativity, innovation, and cultivating student talents. The presentation provides several quotes and examples showing how the current system does not meet the needs of students or society. It advocates for transforming education to develop future-ready students and allow greater educational freedom.
The document provides profiles of 20 inspirational women in the UK rail industry in 2016 as selected by the organization Women in Rail. It discusses the selection process and criteria used to identify the top 20 women, which included nominations received, impact on colleagues and customers, and influence on the future of rail. The profiles highlight the achievements and careers of several women in different rail roles as examples of inspiration to others in the industry.
Jane is an HR director who helps students transition from school to work. She finds that students lack soft skills like communication, teamwork, and accountability. Schools focus too much on hard skills and not enough on preparing students for the professional world. Her company addresses this through mentorship programs, orientations, and internships to develop students' soft skills and understanding of workplace culture. However, schools need to better integrate professional training to ease students' transition to the workforce.
This document discusses the plight of older workers and barriers they face in obtaining employment. It begins by defining who older workers are, including a wide range of experiences and education levels. It then examines reasons why older workers are out of work, such as the recession, health issues, and obsolete job skills. Barriers to employment for older workers are explored, such as lack of recent job search experience, ageism myths, and inadequate assistance programs. The document concludes by suggesting ways to help older workers transition back into the workforce, such as targeted training programs, resume assistance, and combating common ageism myths.

the original content of the 1973 TPS manual1 was written by
the staff2 of Toyota Motor Corp. (OMCD - Operations Management Consulting Division.
By 1970, Toyota had a fairly stable production system internally and they made a decision to
assist suppliers by sharing their knowledge and skills. To do this, Toyota created a special
internal improvement group called Production Research Division (later renamed Operations
Management Consulting Division – OMCD)
his 1973 manual was also used as course materials by Ohno and his team – the Japanese
Management Association compiled their workshop materials and released it as a book in the
1978. Productivity Press translated it and released it as Kanban: Just-in-time at Toyota in
1986. While much of the Productivity Press book consists of the same materials as the 1973
TPS Manual, it is not presented in the same order.

Conference Speech About Apprenticeship Diversity
1. DIVERSITY SPEECH– FINAL
SLIDE 1
So, if you want someone to deliver a speechon diversity…
Who better than a straight, white, middle-class male?
But the reason I’m here today to talk to you all about apprenticeships
diversity is that…
Whatever my particular demographic profile…
We need absolutely everybody to be on board.
This is nowhere more apparent or true than in the sectormy organisation
represents.
Semta is the sectorskills council for advanced manufacturing and
engineering.
Engineering is a sectorwhere just 12 per cent of the workforce is female.
And where just 3 in every hundred apprenticeships are started by women.
SLIDE 2
This despite almost as many girls taking GCSE Physics as do boys.
And although four times as many young men study A Level Physics as do
young women…
That ratio is still nowhere near the thirty-three to one ratio for
apprenticeships.
Engineering is also a sectorwhere black and minority ethnic higher
education students are actually relatively over-represented…
SLIDE 3
But where BAME apprenticeship starts continue to lag behind white starts.
Now, this would be bad enough and would be worth fixing on its own
terms…
But it’s even more imperative to our sectorgiven that we have a looming
skills crisis.
2. The most recent estimate of the number of new recruits to the sectorputs it
at 1.8 million over the coming decade.
That’s a lot of new engineers.
In fact, to meet that need we will require 20% of all children currently at
schoolto become engineers.
SLIDE 4
We have an ageing workforce,and half of it is set to hit retirement age in
the next decade.
Most of those who are set to retire are, of course,white and male.
So we have a great opportunity to build a more diverse engineering sector,
starting now.
To do that, we need to do three things – I’m a big fan of the ‘rule of three’
generally, and this is no exception!
One, we need to get our messaging to young people about engineering
apprenticeships right – from as early an age as possible.
Two, we need to make sure our sectoris an inclusive and accepting place
to work.
And three, we need to build programmes,looking at the best practice that’s
already underway, which demonstrate to people that engineering is the
sectorfor them and that an apprenticeship is the way in.
So, on our messaging – I’ll start by talking about genderand then move on
to other areas where we need to build a more diverse engineering
workforce.
There is no good reason why boys should be more predisposed to become
engineers than girls.
No good reason at all.
SLIDE 5
In the seventies,Lego used to include letters with their boxes of bricks
which told parents –
“The urge to create is equally strong in all children. Boys and girls.”
3. And engineering, ultimately, is about creativity.
So why is this message not getting through?
Perhaps girls and women simply do not realise just how creative the skillset
needed to be a great engineeris.
This is embedded from an early age.
Boys are encouraged to build – and to destroy– in the course of their play.
They are encouraged to make a mess.
Girls are encouraged to nurture.
SLIDE 6
You can walk into pretty much any toy shop and you will see this stark
divide.
It’s crazy, and it needs to change, because the attitudes that we encourage
our children to take on at a young age…
Will then go on to inform their attitudes later on in life.
So we need to encourage girls, as much as boys, who like to create and to
experiment in their play.
We then need to make the link between those character traits and
engineering.
We already have one example of good practice in the STEM Ambassador
network –
Where young female apprentices can go into schools,talk to the children,
and say to them –
“I got here and there is nothing to stop you from taking the same path I did.”
Researchwe at Semta did last year underlines the importance of changing
how we talk about apprenticeships inengineering.
SLIDE 7
Girls and women who are in engineering, our research showed,were
motivated to get into the sectorby the prospectof interesting and exciting
4. work – just the same as the men – but were less motivated by earning
while learning.
And female engineers are less likely to use salary as a selling point for the
sector.
Who wouldn’t want to be an engineer?
You will get to solve the world’s biggestchallenges, you will get to be
creative, and you will take a real sense of pride and achievement home
with you.
An apprenticeship is the first step on this road.
SLIDE 8
We know from the mostrecent Industry Apprentice Council report that
female engineering apprentices are just as satisfied with their choices as
their male peers.
That report was based on a survey, facilitated and supported by Semta, of
1,200 apprentices drawn mostly from engineering sectors.
The girls and women that do make it into engineering get here because
they are driven and because they really want to becomeengineers.
That’s superb – but how many more girls and women must be put off the
sectorfor life by how STEM subjects are taught and by how STEM careers
are perceived?
As the IAC report shows, many of them are actively put off from getting an
engineering apprenticeship.
More than four in five female respondents to the survey said higher
education was the number one pathway to aim for in their schoolor
college.
And how many might be put off by the new End Point Assessments that are
mandated for all apprenticeship standards –
Given that research shows that girls prefermore continuous assessment
and do better when assessedin such a way?
And how many might be really well suited to an engineering
apprenticeship…
5. Only to be put off by a teacher telling them it’s not for them?
SLIDE 9
The Industry Apprentice Council report paints a really stark picture of the
state of careers advice in schools.
And the female apprentices who respondedwere, on average, less likely to
have beenencouraged to do their apprenticeships than the male
respondents.
That is, frankly, not good enough. It is shameful.
So we really, really do need to change the messagesthat young people
receive in schoolabout engineering and about our apprenticeships.
But although message is important, the messengermatters just as much.
It doesn’tmatter how we talk about our sector…
If the only people doing the talking are all older, white and male.
As I said previously, the STEM Ambassador network is a great start.
And our Semta Skills Awards Best of British Engineering this year is a
female apprentice.
SLIDE 10
And there are many other initiatives across engineering which are aimed at
bringing about a more diverse apprenticeship intake.
Semta is proud to supportthe Asian Apprenticeship Awards,for example –
The awards give a platform to talented young apprentices from Asian
backgrounds and provide excellent role models for other young people
from similar backgrounds to show that they, too, could get ahead through
an apprenticeship.
We cannot underestimate the importance of role models.
SLIDE 11
Recentresearch in the US has shown that female engineering students
who are given female mentors are more likely to stick with their courses
6. than those who are not given a mentor and those who are given a male
mentor.
A recent Semta report on apprentice pastoral care underlined the
importance of giving young people good role models to supportthem,
especiallyas they begintheir apprenticeships.
An SME may find it harder than a large company to provide a role model
with a similar profile to an apprentice –
So perhaps we need to develop something which SMEs can tap into to give
their young apprentices the support they need.
One good,practical – and, best of all, free! – thing all employers can do is
to think about how they write their apprenticeship adverts.
SLIDE 12
There is an inherent gender bias in some job adverts – and it’s worse in
male-dominated fields like engineering.
Researchhas shown that women consistently underestimate their abilities
and, when it comes to new opportunities, can focus more on what they
cannot do than on what they can offeran employer.
So, presented with a list of duties and responsibilities,and a list of essential
criteria, which are studded with stereotypicallymasculine traits like
‘competitive’and ‘ambitious’…
Womencan be turned off.
Whereas a male candidate will look at that list and, more often than not,
think…
“It’ll be all right on the night.”
I know this from my own experiences – both from how I and my male
friends and family approach the job hunt, and from how the girls and
women I know approach these things.
Good engineering firms have already shifted the emphasis in their
apprenticeship adverts.
They focus less on the day-to-day duties and tasks…
7. And much more on the characteristics and behaviours needed to do the job
well.
SLIDE 13
A study in the US showed that women are less interested in job adverts
which are written in a gender-biasedway…
So if you want a more genderdiverse field of applicants – do it differently.
Having encouraged a more diverse poolof candidates for your engineering
apprenticeships…
You need to prove to every candidate that they will be welcome and valued
in your workplace.
Again – this is a cultural change that we need to effect.
Much of the bias that we see in too many workplaces is unconscious.
SLIDE 14
Much of the time, it exists simply because the existing workforce and
management have never actually needed to think about certain issues.
This can be as simple as the female toilets being an afterthought, on a
differentfloorto the male toilets or in a less accessible place.
Or it can be there being no quiet, private space being available in which a
religious observerwould be able to pray.
Perhaps the manager’s office is upstairs, which makes accessing it
impossiblefora less physically mobile employee.
Those with strong, determined personalities will, perhaps, look at obstacles
like these and think –
“I will not be put off by this.”
And in the vast, vast majority of cases,employers will want to
accommodate and will be all too happy to change things like this.
In the case of disability, it is the law that employers must make a
reasonable adjustment to account foran individual’s disability.
8. And good employers will readily make any changes which are suggested
by their employees.
Employers want their workers to feelhappy and valued, after all.
But it can be dependenton someone speaking out…
And if you’re in a small minority, you can often just feel it’s easier to accept
the status quo.
So if you are taking on apprentices…
Be mindful of how your workplace looks and feels to them…
Especiallyif they are going to be in a minority in your workplace.
Now we’ve got the right messages to attract people in place and we’ve got
a load of workplaces where everyone can feel truly valued and respected.
The final step is to bring people in.
Government has a role to play in this.
SLIDE 15
We have the Apprenticeship Diversity Champions Network, for example,
which is chaired by an MP and is made up of employers from across the
whole economy– including engineering.
Now, whatever you think of government-settargets for apprenticeships…
And I know that feeling is mixed where the 3 million starts target is
concerned…
A target can at least help to focus minds on a shared priority.
So in this case, we have a target of a 20 per cent increase in BAME
apprenticeship starts.
But a government target is not enough.
The government cannot feasibly reach out to every single employerin the
country and encourage them to take on apprentices,and to think about
taking in a more diverse pool of apprentices.
Nor can the government reach out to every single employerand tell them
what the law says –
9. SLIDE 16
Which is that positive action is allowed in law if you are seeking to address
an imbalance in your workforce –
So you cannot actively discriminate, but you can level the playing field.
This is one tool employers have in their lockers – but if they don’t use it,
there is always a risk they will lose it.
Remember– it is a cultural change that we are seeking to effecthere.
It’s ultimately only by changing the culture, and changing people’s
mindsets,that we can really ensure that change will be sustained beyond
the lifespan of any one programme or initiative.
The best diversity and inclusion programmes across the engineering sector
seek to do just that.
So, for example, some companies,such as Rolls-Royce,seekto balance
their intakes for work experience programmes.
And MBDA demand a genderbalanced intake for their schooltrip visits.
So if a teacher has five boys with an interest in engineering…
They must find five girls, too.
By taking equal numbers of male and female candidates onto programmes,
employers do two things.
One – they say to female would-be engineers, loudly and clearly –
This is a place where you could work.
And two, they say to their existing staff –
Changing the balance of our workforce,and making the best use of all
available talent, is a priority for us.
So it needs to be a priority for you, too.
And this means that there is then a wider poolof potential candidates for
the company’s apprenticeships.
Which then filters into the company’s recruitment profile.
10. SLIDE 17
MBDA now have a genderbalanced apprenticeship intake.
In Rolls-Royce,in MBDA and in many other engineering companies such
as Atkins, this has beendriven from the top.
If a company has a CEO, or a Chairman, or others in senior positions who
are committed to building a more diverse intake of apprentices –
It acts as a catalyst.
Over time, a new culture can take root within the company.
Individual, piecemealinitiatives, though, cannot be the whole solution.
They can change the culture within one company – but what we need is
wholesale, sectoral cultural change.
That’s where pan-sectoral initiatives come in.
SLIDE 18
Semta, for example, has beenworking on an apprenticeship diversity
toolkit, along with the ICE and the WISE campaign.
We launched on International Womenin Engineering Day, last month.
I would urge anyone with an interest in engineering apprenticeships to take
a look –
It’s packed full of excellent case studies and includes lots of examples of
positive things employers can do to bring in a more balanced intake.
As our Chair, Dame Judith Hackitt, recently made clear in a blog post –
We need initiatives and programmes of work which cut across the whole of
the sector.
Because,ultimately, the skills issues in our sector…
Apply across the whole sector…
And the whole sectoris reliant on there being a pipeline of new talent
coming through.
I’ve spoken for about fifteenminutes…
11. And I feellike I’ve barely even begun to scratch the surface.
But we need, all of us, to keep on scratching that surface until we break
through…
And are able to attract apprentices from all backgrounds and from all
sections of the community.
Because for engineering – the very future survival of the sectordepends on
it.
SLIDE 19
So – while we’re working towards a longer-term cultural change –
Let us in the short term use the tools we have at our disposal –
And let us use positive action and build on the many examples of good
practice that already exist –
To build a more balanced engineering workforce for the future.
Thank you for listening.
