The WISE vision is....
Most young women understanding science, engineering and mathematics, and many choosing it as a career.
Our mission
The WISE campaign collaborates with industry and education to encourage UK girls of school age to value and pursue STEM or construction related courses in school or college, and to move on into related careers.
We do this by first listening to girls, understanding their concerns, and then ensuring other agencies and policymakers hear their voices. We then work creatively with delivery agencies and others, offering models, tools and approaches to support them in challenging traditional approaches, so as to demonstrate equitable involvement with, and results for girls.
WISE prioritises activities which:
¨ focus on outcomes for girls and young women in education/training
¨ collaborate with existing schemes to maximise their impact with girls
¨ influence the influencers to promote policies that are effective for girls
¨ innovate and pilot models, tools and approaches
¨ explore and measure the drivers of success
Through its initiatives, the WISE campaign has helped to double the percentage of female engineering graduates from 7% in 1984 to 15% today.

Across the UK
WISE also runs individual WISE committees in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, to cater for the specific needs of girls and women in these countries.
Through the support of local organisations, educationalists and industry, initiatives such as videos, websites, publications, conferences, seminars, networks and taster days have been developed for these countries.
