It is critical to pave the way for more women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Despite the need for an increased workforce, women remain underrepresented in technology careers and particularly technology leadership (Tomaskovic-Devey & Han, 2018). Furthermore, there is a lack of research on how STEM recruiting and…

Using a learning-focused lens, this chapter explores concepts such as recruiting, training, and supervision through the strategic use of leadership learning outcomes.
