Thousands of gifted women and underrepresented minorities remain a disproportionally small fraction of those in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers, and industry, the largest employer category of those with STEM backgrounds, stands to benefit considerably from their greater inclusion. However, nothing short of a game-changing environment must be created to harness the talent of those not fully represented in the STEM workforce. This report, the summary of an NAE workshop held in May 2012 on the needs and challenges facing industry in particular, is intended to facilitate discussion and actions to address these complex issues. The workshop provided a forum for leaders from industry, academia, and professional associations to share best practices and innovative approaches to recruiting, retaining, and advancing women and underrepresented minorities in the scientific and engineering workforce throughout the nation’s industries.
