![]() ![]() Initiatives to promote STEM professions are enabling students to learn more about us as an innovative, forward-looking company engaged in dialogue with the new generations. We have always endeavored to attract the top talents. In 2016, with Girls go Tech, we organized a one-day event in the form of a training contest in which 60 female students, again with the help of our tutors, worked in teams to design and pitch concepts for new products and services linked to the energy sector. The initiative offered students in the final two years of four high schools the opportunity to immerse themselves for an entire day in the working environment and technologies of Enel at its offices in Rome, supported by tutors from the Global Digital Solutions (GDS) division.įurthermore, along with other important companies in 2017, we participated in the project Girls in Motion, a ‘learning tour’ which gave 20 female students the opportunity to visit sites of Italian industrial excellence (maintenance systems, operating rooms, construction sites and workshops) to explore and share women’s experiences in tech culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() To enable young women to really experience what a working day for a manager in this field is really like, in 20 we created the shadowing experience Leaders for a Day. This initiative evolved out of our project Girls in ICT, which has been active since 2016, in which women who are experts and managers from the world of IT and digital technologies talk to female students aged between 16 and 25 about the benefits and career opportunities of STEM degrees. In 2019, in order to inspire young women to pursue an interest in the world of science and technology, we organized Women in Tech, an online event that attracted thousands of participants, generating more than two thousand conversations, almost eight thousand interactions and a potential media exposure of 28 million hits. Using their respective research backgrounds, they explained how STEM subjects are fundamental in giving shape to an innovative and sustainable future and how these fields need creative and passionate people like women, who are all too often the victims of prejudice. The second edition of " Tech Talks,” in December 2021, featured Raffaella Ida Rumiati, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at SISSA (the International School for Advanced Studies) in Trieste, and Filomena Floriana Ferrara, Corporate Social Responsibility Country Manager at IBM. Guest speaker at the first meeting was Ersilia Vaudo Scarpetta, astrophysicist and Chief Diversity Officer at the European Space Agency, who shared her experience in an enthralling speech. Even more specifically, it aims to showcase to female students the opportunities for personal, social and professional development that the world of STEM subjects offers, while working to overcome the gender stereotypes and cultural prejudices that undermine young women’s choices to study science subjects at university. The goal of the project is to raise awareness among young people about the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills. In November 2020, we launched “ Tech Talks”, a cycle of online meetings that feature nationally and internationally accomplished women from the worlds of science, culture, business and the entertainment industry. In line with our Diversity&Inclusion policy, we are promoting a series of initiatives with the goal of encouraging young women to pursue degrees in scientific and technical fields and digital technologies, shortening the distance between the worlds of education and work while making the energy industry more inclusive and diverse. ![]()
