The latest episode of the IOR Tip of the Iceberg podcast was recorded on International Women in Engineering Day in June 2022. We were joined by Steve Gill of World Refrigeration Day, Lisa-Jayne Cook, IOR Women in RACHP Group and Sam Buckell STEM Ambassador to talk about how careers in Science Technology Engineering and Maths fields are evolving and we ask what can be done to bring more diversity into our sector in order to attract the best people and skills. This is part of the IOR's Beyond Refrigeration initiative to explore at how the sector is evolving to address the net zero challenge.
