Grant Overview

Target Outcomes for Job Training for Women in STEM in New Hampshire

In New Hampshire, the push for gender equality in the workplace continues to highlight the need for increased participation of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Despite the state's increasing demand for skilled labor in tech and scientific roles, women remain underrepresented. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, women comprised only 26% of the STEM workforce in New Hampshire as of 2020. This gap not only stifles potential innovation but also limits economic growth opportunities for the state.

The desired outcomes of the funding initiative for job training programs specifically for women in STEM focuses on increasing the number of female graduates entering this booming sector. By providing funding for training programs that incorporate hands-on experiences, mentorship opportunities, and access to industry connections, this initiative aims to create a more inclusive workforce within New Hampshire. Furthermore, the program seeks to build confidence and skill sets among participants, empowering them to pursue careers that have historically been dominated by men.

Enhancing the participation of women in STEM fields matters for New Hampshire’s economy because diverse teams foster creativity and innovation, driving overall advancement for the state. By bridging the gender gap, New Hampshire can address labor shortages in key industries such as technology and engineering while enhancing its competitive edge in the regional economy. Additionally, a more diverse workforce can lead to improved solutions and products that cater to a wider range of customers and clients.

Implementation of the initiative will involve collaboration with local educational institutions, tech companies, and existing workforce development agencies in New Hampshire. This integration ensures that the training programs are aligned with current industry needs and are accessible to women across different demographics. Workshops, networking events, and internships will be integral components of this strategy.

Ultimately, investing in job training programs for women in STEM within New Hampshire represents a commitment to creating a more equitable workforce. By facilitating women's entry into these fields, the state can not only enhance economic opportunities but also set a precedent for future generations.
