Choose STEM Future Campaign Launched
The Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) launched a campaign dubbed “Choose STEM future” to encourage young women and girls to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) by bringing forth inspiring role models of successful women in STEM profession from the Western Balkans (WB). This campaign was created as part of the regional Women in STEM Network, a joint initiative of the RCC and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP - Montenegro).
According to the data:
65% of today’s children will one day work in a job that does not exist yet.
By 2030, between 40 and 160 million women will need to transition into roles requiring more complex digital, social, and emotional skills.
Globally, in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, only one in five professionals is a woman.
Growing and adapting our own skills and being up to date with new technologies is incredibly important for youngsters, women in particular, so is staying creative and open-minded as their future job might not exist just yet.
