Encouraging more girls into STEM

10 Apr 2023

For the fourth year in a row, Intertek Sweden invited a group of girls to see our Electrical and Transportation Technologies laboratory in Kista, Stockholm. The visit was part of the countrywide Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, which aims to encourage more young girls and non-binary people to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics ('STEM').

The 20 attendees, all with a specific interest in engineering, were given tours of several of our testing laboratories and met some of our female engineers to learn more about their work and career journeys. They also got to see some tests in action and ask questions about the world of engineering. Having hosted the event virtually for the last few years, we were especially pleased to welcome the girls in person once again.
