Closing the Gap

Women and gender minorities make up just over 25% of the workforce in STEM fields, and in the skilled trades—like construction—that number drops to just 9%. These gaps reflect not only career choices but also the social and systemic barriers that limit access and opportunities in both classrooms and workplaces.

"Closing the Gap" is more than a podcast—it's a conversation about change. Through interviews with local professionals, educators, and advocates, we explore personal stories, examine the systemic issues behind the gender gap, and highlight solutions that are helping to build a more inclusive future in STEM and skilled trades.

From navigating biases to breaking stereotypes, our guests share how they’ve overcome challenges and are paving the way for the next generation. Whether you're a student curious about your future, a parent supporting career exploration, or an advocate for equity in education, this podcast will inspire you to think differently and take action.

Join us in uncovering the stories that matter and the systemic shifts that will shape tomorrow. Listen now and be part of the change.
