STEM Sisters Ambassador Program
Join the Movement to lead the way in STEM.
The STEM Sisters Ambassador Program empowers women in STEM, focusing on women of colour and those facing cultural and gender barriers. We believe that diversity is a strength and that women have unique skills and perspectives essential for driving innovation and progress in the STEM field.
Our program provides essential skills training, leadership development, and networking opportunities to help you advance your career in STEM and become a leader in the field. We collaborate with Women in STEM clubs to provide leadership development opportunities and build a strong community of aspiring women in STEM.
Our program consists of five monthly workshops and networking opportunities, all designed to help you advance your career in STEM and become a leader in the field. We also provide opportunities to increase your visibility through interview sessions and other professional portfolio-building activities to help you showcase your skills and achievements.
We aim to promote diversity and inclusion in STEM and support women of colour, students, and recent graduates facing cultural and gender barriers. By joining the STEM Sisters Ambassador Program, you will become part of a diverse community driving innovation and progress in the STEM field.
Participating in this program offers women of colour in STEM numerous advantages, including:
- Access to specialized training for career and leadership advancement.
- Opportunities to foster a sense of belonging, comfort, and enhanced confidence.
- Strategies to navigate and surmount cultural barriers and inequalities.
- A greater likelihood of securing employment within the STEM fields.
- Direct engagement with industry experts based in Australia.

- Expansion of both social and professional networks.
Inspiring Women to Lead in STEM
With the vision of ‘Empowering, Supporting & Celebrating STEM Women of Colour,’ STEM Sisters started the Ambassador Program, where the participants firmly believe in the term ‘Sisterhood.’ This Program aims to help the international women of STEM in Victoria overcome the barriers they face due to inequality and discrimination in workspaces.
