05. You can’t be what you can’t see

Currently in Australia, less than 20% of Engineering students are female. And in the defence industry, female engineers make up less than 15% of the workforce.

So how do we encourage more women into STEM? Join Lily Serna as she meets some of the inspirational females making their mark in the defence industry, paving the way for future generations. Who are these trailblazers and STEM advocates?
