At HARMAN, we're dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation. We also know - and have seen firsthand - how diversity accelerates progress and drives growth, yet women remain underrepresented in the tech industry. Through our global cause initiative, HARMAN Inspired, we're committed to breaking down barriers and empowering the next generation of women to pursue careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math).
Together with our longtime partners at the 1,000 Dreams Fund, HARMAN is helping support the aspirations of talented young women in STEAM fields. Since 2017, our "New Face of Tech" scholarship program has provided critical funding and mentorship to women at the start of their careers. To date, we've awarded over $150,000 to young women across the country, helping these emerging leaders take bold steps forward in their tech journeys. We're proud to share the stories of some of these inspiring scholarship recipients - women who are not only dreaming of transforming the tech landscape but are already making it happen. Meet these trailblazers and discover how fostering diverse talent today is creating a more inclusive tomorrow…
