Massachusetts Department of Higher Education STEM Nexus
STEM Regional Networks - Promoting Women in STEM
The 2019 Commonwealth of Massachusetts Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is pleased to highlight the important work that the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education is doing to promote women in STEM through its Nexus STEM Regional Networks. STEM is the acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Promoting and supporting women in STEM is critical to bridging the gender and pay gaps for women and improving the quality and scope of STEM opportunities in Massachusetts.
Why is STEM important for women in Massachusetts?
Although Massachusetts was recently ranked 2nd among all 50 states in terms of gender equity in STEM employment, the employment gap between women and men in STEM careers is still wide. While women hold more than half of healthcare jobs in Massachusetts, the State has only a modestly higher percentage of women in non-healthcare STEM occupations (29%), compared to the national average (25%). Overall, there are 2.5 men to every woman in STEM jobs, slightly better than the national rate of 3 men for every woman.
Managed by the Department of Higher Education the State's Regional STEM Networks serve as hubs for connecting educators, community leaders and industry partners to further excite and energize students about opportunities in STEM subjects. These networks are among the longest standing STEM Networks in the country.
The Massachusetts strategy with the STEM Nexus Regional Networks was to align economic, workforce, and education systems to coordinate systems based on skill needs in regions. The Governor designated a new set of regional boundaries that roll up existing workforce development areas into a smaller set of regions.
Each network is managed by an executive director and housed in either an institution of higher education or a regional employment board. Under the direction of the STEM Advisory Council, the networks play a key role in cultivating interest and engagement in STEM activities in their regions and implementing the priorities of the STEM Advisory Council.
