Bias in the recruitment process prevents STEM professionals who have had a career break return to employment, according to a new survey by STEM Returners.
This is why we’ve launched an annual piece of research – The STEM Returners Index – to further understand these barriers, to track the progress STEM industries are making with solving these issues, and campaign for change.
The STEM Returners Index 2024 Survey is NOW OPEN! We invite all STEM professionals who have had a career break or are looking to re-enter their industry, to share their experiences with us. Our ultimate goal for this survey is to collect around 1000 participants and build national data about the realities and struggles of returners in our industry. https://online1.snapsurveys.com/STEM-Returners-Index-2024
