In advance of March's Women's History Month, the Manufacturing Institute and its STEP Ahead initiative partners recognized 122 recipients of the STEP Awards at a reception in Washington, D.C., on February 5. The institute partnered with Deloitte, University of Phoenix, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers on the STEP Ahead initiative (women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Production), which was launched to examine and promote the role of women in the manufacturing industry through recognition, research, and education/leadership. It also highlights best practices for attracting, advancing and retaining strong female talent. The STEP awards recognize women at all levels of a manufacturing organization from the factory floor to the C-suite.
