Barriers to STEM careers

11 December, 2024

Lily Gregory, a Gen Z STEM student, is an advocate for improving diversity in the STEM sector and uses her role as President of the KCL Womxn in STEM society to help break down barriers to entry for those from underrepresented groups.  

Bright Network’s Johnson sat down with Lily and Adam Driver, Technical Talent Specialist at CFC, to get to the bottom of these barriers and open up a conversation on how employers can be part of the change.  

Watch the video at the bottom of this page to hear their insights into:

  • Why perception and lack of role models keep talented students from STEM paths
  • How employers can inspire confidence and encourage more diverse talent
  • The importance of giving students constructive feedback during the hiring process
