Empowering Young Women in the 3S Workforce™

Creating Opportunities for the Future

Breaking Barriers, Building Futures 

There are a number of opportunities for women in STEM, Supply Chain, and The Skilled Trades, as these fields offer some of the fastest-growing, highest-paying careers of the future. The GAN Brand (Girls Action Network®) is on a mission to ensure our girls and young women are aware of the opportunities.

From artificial intelligence to space exploration, STEM careers drive the world’s most exciting innovations. The next generation of scientists, engineers, health care professionals, and technologists to name a few will lead breakthroughs that transform industries and improve lives. 

Why It Matters

  • Women hold only 28% of STEM jobs—yet companies with diverse teams outperform their competitors. 
  • Less than 20% of supply chain leadership roles are held by women. 
  • Skilled trades offer six-figure earning potential—yet the industry struggles with gender diversity. 

Women In AI & Related Fields

  • Women constitute only 12% of AI researchers globally, underscoring a significant gender gap in this rapidly advancing field.  
  • In the United States, women hold just 25.6% of computer and mathematical occupations and 27% of computer and information systems manager roles, despite representing over half of the total population.  
  • Women make up less than a third of AI professionals worldwide, and only 18% of AI researchers are women, highlighting a critical need for greater female representation in AI development and research.
