You’ve likely heard of the acronym, STEM, right? It stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math—four areas in which women still lag behind men in the marketplace. In fact, statistics show that the number of women in these areas is actually declining.

Programs have sprouted up all around the country to provide education and familiarity with these subjects, and to encourage girls and young women to pursue a career in one of these fields.

At Crown Ford, we know you can't always predict the direction your career might take. We encourage people to pursue their interests. At the end of the day, you should do what makes you happy. Take Saidat Giwa-Osagie, for instance. Her collaborative interests in social science and power systems caused her to pursue a career in automotive IT. Bet you didn't see that one coming.
