Self-efficacy of young women in the transition from STEM studies

self-efficacy4MINT strengthens the self-efficacy of young women as they transition from STEM studies into professional life, looking at both individual experiences and organizational conditions. The project explores which factors support successful career paths, the barriers that exist, and how environments can be created where women confidently develop their skills in STEM fields.

Based on these insights, self-efficacy4MINT develops practice-oriented workshops, evidence-based recommendations, and innovative support formats, designed to help both students and companies ease career transitions, promote diversity, and embed a modern, self-efficacy-driven workplace culture for the long term.

“We acknowledge that the binary concept of woman and man does not reflect the lived reality of everybody. Therefore, our work is directed towards all individuals who identify as women, as well as non-binary people”.
