<p>As someone who hires grads at my env consulting firm, we have been seeing a consistent female shift in engineering candidates. For instance, so far this hiring season, our engineering offers are 75% tilted to women. I don’t pretend to know exactly why we seem to be seeing & offering more to women (beyond what we think is the supply share), other than perhaps our industry is more attractive to women, and men are perhaps pushing into the more conventional engineering jobs in traditional industry/manufacturing…any case, its been great for us (consultants) because we have some very smart new employees that can actually relate, talk & write!</p>
