”Participating in the Steam Ahead program helped me understand the requirement to succeed in a workplace. I learnt that responding to adversity and understanding the workplace culture is as essential as being a team player. The program also helped me to understand my strengths and values, which aided me in being clear about my choices for my future career. Thus, as part of the Dream Big Ahead committee, I want to help other women by empowering them to pursue a STEAM career.”

“I loved being a part of the STEAM Ahead Program. It motivated me to work harder in other aspects of my life, such as in my studies. Working through the modules actually lifted my energy instead of depleting it; I found that after working through the modules I was able to get more done during the rest of my day. Thank you for considering me to be a part of this program, I am truly grateful.”
