Female enrollment at ISE surging from 34% in 2018 to an impressive 66% in 2023
In a groundbreaking display of unity, Iceland's women and non-binary individuals, including the Prime Minister, convened for a full-day strike on October 24, demanding an end to the nation's enduring gender pay gap and widespread gender-based violence. Despite Iceland's global reputation for gender equality, disparities persist, with some female professionals earning 21% less than their male counterparts. This powerful strike coincides with global efforts to promote gender equality in the energy sector, where women represent just 16% of the workforce. The Iceland School of Energy (ISE) is dedicated to this cause, offering a Women in Energy Scholarship and achieving a 66% female enrollment rate.
