Creating a more inclusive future for STEM starts with access, exposure and opportunity. Through sustained school partnerships, hands‑on experiences and a strong network of visible female role models, our Girls Believe Academy outreach programme is helping to break down barriers and challenge outdated perceptions of engineering and construction. Since launching in 2021, the programme has delivered meaningful, measurable engagement – inspiring and empowering girls to explore STEM pathways. Take a look at the impact so far below and find out more on our website https://www.equans.co.uk/case-studies/girls-believe-academy.
At a recent roundtable held as part of our Equans Be Yourself campaign, our apprentices and early-career colleagues shared what truly makes a difference in those first career steps – feeling a sense of belonging, having visible role models, and being trusted with real responsibility from day one. The consensus was clear: when young people feel empowered to be themselves, they’re more confident to grow and contribute. Supporting early careers isn’t just about creating opportunities – it’s about creating the right environment for the next generation of talent to thrive. Discover the key highlights from the discussion below ⬇️
