As part of its commitment to social responsibility, GHI supports the Inspira STEAM project, initiated by the University of Deusto. This initiative aims to dismantle gender stereotypes by promoting STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) careers among young girls.
Empowering Future Female Technologists
In this innovative project, professional women from research, science, and technology fields mentor elementary students. They aim to inspire scientific and technological vocations among girls, highlighting that career choices are not gender-dependent.
Ainhoa Ochoa, an Industry 4.0 Engineer at GHI, played a pivotal role as a mentor in this project’s fourth edition. Over six sessions, she engaged with primary school students from Karmengo Ama Ikastetxea in Amorebieta, employing group mentoring techniques to encourage young girls to envision themselves in STEAM roles.
“It’s crucial to highlight the contributions of women past and present in engineering fields,” says Ochoa. “At GHI, we strive to showcase that men and women are equally capable of innovating and solving industry challenges. By empowering young girls with the knowledge to recognize and overcome stereotypes, we help them to make informed career choices.”
A Continuous Commitment to Equality
GHI remains dedicated to fostering scientific and technological vocations among the youth, particularly girls. This commitment is part of our broader strategy to support equality and ensure diverse talent thrives within our company.
We look forward to future opportunities to contribute to this transformative project and continue our efforts to recruit and develop exceptional female talent at GHI.
Join us in upcoming sessions and support our journey towards a more inclusive and equitable STEAM community.
