At STEM Muslims, we're committed to addressing these disparities by creating pathways to successful careers, providing mentorship, and building a supportive community for Muslims in STEM fields.
Across the year we run events that take students from wondering what a career in a field actually looks like, to having spoken to the people doing it.
Six consultants from McKinsey and BCG, one live case competition
Our flagship consulting event opens with insights and guidance from consultants at McKinsey and BCG, before students tackle a case study of their own in teams, competing against fellow students. We close with a Q&A and the chance to network with the entire panel.
Fireside chats with founders who have built at scale
We bring in founders to talk candidly about building a business from nothing. Most recently that was Hamza Hanif, CEO of Sunna Supplements, an eight figure business with over a quarter of a million customers in the UK and one of the fastest growing companies in Europe. Every session ends with time to meet the founder properly.
An exclusive sisters panel on careers across the sustainability space
Not sure what career paths exist in sustainability? Our sisters panel brings together speakers from across the field, from consulting to academia, to dig into the realities of the work rather than the job titles. Questions are crowdsourced from the sisters community beforehand and put to the panel on the night.
What recruiters actually look for, from someone who has screened for them
An evening of practical insight on making a CV stand out through application season. The session is led by a founder whose experience comes from working with organisations including the UN, McKinsey and Deloitte, and walks through what recruiters genuinely look for rather than the usual advice.
Our biggest careers event of the year: a fireside chat with industry professionals, exhibition stalls from companies across STEM, and an evening of networking with a community built around professional growth.
