70/30.
That is the sad ratio describing gender diversity in STEM-intensive industries.
Apple's workforce: 70% male, 30% female.
Googles? That's right, 70% male, 30% female.
Yahoo? You guessed it, 70/30.
The question confronting CEOs of many of the leading companies in the world is "how do we achieve balance by recruiting and retaining qualified women" into the workforce?

Future of the
American Workforce: How to Recruit and Retain Talent in the New Generation of
STEM Graduates.
A balanced STEM workforce is crucial to America's innovative
capacity and overall global competitiveness. According to the US Department of
Commerce, "women are vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs and among STEM
degree holders despite making up nearly half of the US workforce and half of
the college-educated workforce." Companies are heavily investing in
recruitment initiatives across the nation to create a pipeline of women
graduating and going into STEM fields. However, despite the current efforts
there is a clear gender bias when looking at the amount of women in STEM
careers. What should companies do to change the environment and corporate
culture that is lagging behind the retention rates of non-STEM industries? How
can companies appeal more to the female workforce and create career longevity
for these talented women? This session, featuring key industry leaders in STEM
talent retention, will address the pivotal points and strategy in recruiting
and retaining women in the STEM workforce.
