The key barrier of people returning to STEM after a career break is the perception of recruiters and hiring managers, that a CV gap automatically equates to a deterioration of skills. Simply put, Returners CV’s will seldom find their way through your standard recruitment channels. This is a waste of talent, it leads to returning engineers working below their capability, or often outside of STEM altogether, and has long term implications on the engineering talent pipeline. People will continue to take career breaks, giving them a supported route to return makes good business sense.
