| Summary: | This policy brief aims to contribute to
filling the knowledge gap and presenting a sex-disaggregated
snapshot of the distribution of students across energy
related higher education educational programs as well as the
traditional Science, Technology, Education, and Math (STEM)
fields, in tertiary education institutions across Lebanon’s
different regions. The objective is to better understand the
supply side of female talent, starting with high skilled
workers, available to enter the energy job market in Lebanon
and propose recommendations when talking about opportunities
for women to work in the sector. While the focus is on
assessing the high skilled workforce, the recommendations
point to the need to focus also on supporting a
middle-skills talent pool where most of the jobs in the
sector are likely to be created. |
