A New Career Accelerator Will Empower Women in STEM Through Comprehensive Career Support and Strategic Industry Partnerships
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tech consulting firm KAYGEN, a global digital enterprise solution provider, announces the launch of UPTEMPO Careers, a unique career accelerator, today with a mission to bridge the gender gap and support talented women in STEM working toward securing impactful and rewarding careers. UPTEMPO addresses the unique challenges faced by women pursuing advanced STEM careers, from overcoming confidence barriers to navigating the complex modern hiring process. At the same time, the accelerator will provide employer partners with exclusive access to a pre-vetted and highly skilled talent pool.
UPTEMPO was founded to empower women engineers and technologists, particularly those who have recently earned, or are nearing completion of, their master's degrees. According to the Global Gender Gap Report (2023), women comprise only 29.2 % of the STEM workforce in 146 nations evaluated. UPTEMPO aims to be a catalyst for an industry shift toward gender parity.
Participants of the accelerator gain access to personalized career coaching, mentorship from industry professionals, a supportive community, ongoing workshop opportunities, and recruiters who will connect them with open positions at companies committed to fostering diversity and inclusion.
"At UPTEMPO, we are committed to empowering women in STEM to overcome systemic barriers and thrive professionally," said Rashmi Chaturvedi, UPTEMPO Founder. "Our goal is not just to help women secure jobs, but to build rewarding careers that harness their full potential and contribute to industry innovation."
