Mediaplanet and Industry Leaders Team Up to Drive Gender Equity within the Energy Sector
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 08, 2018 -- The United States is both a leader in the production and supply of energy. With the total investment in the sector at $280 billion, and the industry employing over three million men and women nationwide, the US boasts one of the most attractive energy markets worldwide.
Despite the mounting opportunity available within the industry, women only compose about 20 percent of its workforce. With three quarters of employers in the energy sector reporting difficulty in hiring qualified candidates—coupled with the fact that 50% of the workforce will be retiring in the next 5-7 years—it’s evident that now is the time to tap into a diversified pool of talent to meet this need.
Mediaplanet’s Women in Energy campaign brings together key industry leaders and associations to shed light on the exciting, lucrative and impactful opportunities available to women in the energy sector. Highlighting the best practices for entering and excelling in this rewarding industry—and advocating for new ways of thinking at executive levels in order to support and advance women throughout the entry, mid, and executive levels their careers.
Within the special issue, read incredible stories of women shaping the future of energy—including an exclusive conversation with Susan Dio, the president and chairman of BP America.
Women in Energy hits newsstands on June 8th, 2018 and is distributed within the weekend circulation USA Today. To explore the digital version of the campaign, click here.
