“Always Connecting, Always Engineering” was the theme for the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) annual conference, WE17. Known as the world’s largest conference for female engineers, WE17 attracted nearly 14,000 people to Austin, Texas, in late October, and ArcelorMittal was there to connect with some special “women of steel.” ArcelorMittal serves on SWE’s Corporate Partnership Council. The council is a coalition of large companies who share best practices in recruiting, retaining and advancing women and diversity in engineering fields. As part of ArcelorMittal’s partnership, many employees have also taken advantage of company-sponsored individual memberships. Those include opportunities for training, networking and leadership development. At this year’s conference, ArcelorMittal promoted opportu- nities and success stories of female engineers working in the steel industry. ArcelorMittal joined Natasa Kolar and Katie Martin-Dobrowolski meet with future engineers at the WE17 Career Fair. other corporate diversity leaders, General Motors, 3M and United Technologies, to co-host the versatility of our product.” workplace experiences with other opening event.
