Female role models, such as GM’s Mary Barra, are carving the path for women in the auto sector GlobeBusiness
Dorothy Liu , control systems engineer at GM's Canadian Technical Centre Markham campus; Laura Barlow , engineer with the active safety and autonomous team at GM's CTC Markham campus; Biljana Rajic , computer-aided engineering at GM’s Canadian Technical Centre in Oshawa.Automotive trailblazers such as Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors Co., and Dhivya Suryadevara, GM’s first female chief financial officer, are breaking barriers in the U.S. auto industry.
Education is key to engaging and enticing a younger generation of girls to enter STEM programs, says Biljana Rajic, an engineer in computer-aided engineering at GM’s Canadian Technical Centre in Oshawa. Currently, GM’s CTC campuses employ nearly 700 engineers. The goal is to increase the head count to 1,000, in part by attracting more women to typically male-dominated jobs. The ratio of women to men is now one in four.
GM also wants to attract engineers such as Dorothy Lui, who may have never considered a career in automotive. The 29-year-old wasn’t into cars when she joined GM in 2018 as a controls system engineer, lateral controls, in the safety and autonomous group.
