I've always heard good things about Alcoa's commitment to diversity - I first joined the company on a women in engineering scholarship so I've always felt supported as a women in engineering. My department is also very diverse with employees of all different backgrounds and stages of life. A few chemical engineers have young children so it's encouraging to see women with young kids are supported and employed in Alcoa's workforce

There are more women coming through the graduate program however the sites are often still dominated by men due to the nature of the industry.
