About (original language)
This report by the Women's Business Council to the UK government examines the obstacles that women face in achieving their potential in the UK, and the resources that the UK economy loses by not drawing fully on its female talent.
Among other things, it recommends that:
A culture change in careers provision for young people and adults should be implemented. Business, careers professionals and schools should work together to ensure increased access to high quality work experience and job shadowing. As part of this, employers should commit to ensuring their graduates, trainees and apprentices visit schools regularly to act as role models and deliver more accessible, first-hand insights about the range of career opportunities available.
A more cohesive approach should be taken by business and Government to encourage girls into STEM subjects and STEM careers.
