The report outlines key opportunities for organisations, industry leaders, and governments to build gender-balanced talent pipelines and foster inclusive workplace cultures, ensuring women are equally engaged in and benefiting from the energy transition:
*Collaborating with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) to scale the STELR Program and develop energy industry-specific STEM modules and content.
*Investing in a multi-year, cross-organisation internship program to provide employment and work experience to first-year female students in core STEM degrees.
*Establishing industry-wide work experience and mentorship programs for young girls, providing them with role models and real-world insights into energy careers.
*Amplifying women in energy trade-based careers by developing industry-wide templates for recruitment, learning and training programs.
*Scaling up skilled migration with a focus on women by engaging with and influencing migration policies to make the process faster, more affordable and accessible for women in key skill areas.
*Growing the talent pool by drawing talent from adjacent industries by differentiating the industry employee value proposition for women and increasing the transferability of skills and experiences.
The report is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between the Energy Group and EY, involving qualitative interviews with CEOs, HR professionals, women leaders, and industry representatives. It draws on global research and proven strategies to identify barriers to entry and advancement for women in the energy sector and offers innovative pathways to address these challenges.
