Speakers from industry and regulation encourage the next generation of female innovators to seize future opportunities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nama Women Advancement (NAMA) recently hosted the third session of its \u2018NAMA Talks\u2019 series, designed to raise women\u2019s awareness of challenges affecting their daily lives and empower their professional participation across various sectors. This latest session, titled \u201cJoin the Change: Women Driving Progress in STEM,\u201d focused on the challenges and opportunities for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held on Tuesday,16th September at the University of Sharjah, the event brought together final-year female students and recent graduates in STEM disciplines for a session of inspiring personal stories and engaging discussions on future careers in industrial and technical fields; with this edition held in partnership with Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), and TAQA Distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session featured a panel of distinguished speakers from key industries, including Budoor Ali, General Superintendent at EGA; and Shaima AlBeshr, HSE Engineer at TAQA Distribution. The insights from their professional journeys offered valuable guidance to the aspiring young women in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key partner in advancing knowledge and innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the discussion, HE Mariam Al Hammadi, Director General of Nama, said, \u201cOur aim is to strengthen women\u2019s participation and achievement in important professional fields, and by providing a platform for dialogue and shared experiences, we are helping to build the next generation of female leaders in STEM. Women\u2019s active participation in these fields also expands the horizons of scientific and technological advancement, contributing to the overall progress of society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s role in driving industrial sectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The talk also directly addressed the role of women in industrial and technical fields, dismantling common misconceptions about their capabilities. Speakers drew from their own experiences to describe how they sustained motivation and honed their skills; emphasising flexibility and a commitment to lifelong learning as essential for succeeding in the evolving job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion also highlighted the transformation underway within industrial and engineering sectors, and panelists outlined a wealth of promising opportunities for women projected to emerge over the next five to ten years, from leadership positions to advanced research and technical specialisations. They stressed the need for the next generation to be prepared to navigate these new innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the session reinforced that women\u2019s career engagement in these fields is important for both personal professional growth, and as a contribution to a more inclusive and innovative future. Students were urged to actively embrace this change by seizing upcoming opportunities and developing the skills that will define tomorrow’s workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nama Talks series will continue its outreach with two more sessions, scheduled to take place in Al Dhaid and Fujairah in October and November, respectively; Under the title \u2018Your First Step into the AI World and How to Profit From It.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
