Schindler marks this year’s International Women in Engineering Day, on June 23, by celebrating the growing number of women entering and advancing in technical fields.
Women are increasingly sought in manufacturing, a field now prioritizing inclusivity and diversity. Employers recognize that diverse perspectives boost creativity and morale, and they are actively showcasing opportunities for success in this dynamic industry.
