Özlem Kahraman
The business world is changing with an ever increasing speed and the need for STEM skills in the labour market is growing every year . The problem however is that growing demand is not met with a growing supply of STEM skilled youngsters . Many students , and in particular women , are not choosing studies / a career in STEM for various reasons , resulting in a skills gap . It is therefore important to stimulate and motivate young students for STEM and to show them what careers in STEM are like .
