By Tarika Barrett and Meredith HarperSTEM jobs are a bright spot in the economyexpected to grow three times faster than non-STEM jobs by 2033but these careers are not within reach for everyone. Black women are underrepresented and underpaid in the STEM workforce, which is a missed opportunity for our country and for innovation at a time when we face more challenges than ever in the technology industry.Black workers represented just 9% of the STEM workforce in 2021, according to the National Science Foundation, and a Pew Research Center study found that Black women in STEM typically earn lower median incomes compared to their white and Asian peers. These challenges are particularly acute in the cybersecurity and IT fields, where we see both historical underrepresentation of women and people of color and a global talent shortage. A joint Girls Who Code and Accenture study also revealed that 50% of women end up leaving the tech workforce by the age of 35.The solution is not only to ensure more Black women and girls can compete and earn STEM roles, but also to create equitable working environments and enable personal growth and leadership development.Here are five ways business leaders can start to close the gap:Cultivate an inclusive cultureWe must foster work environments that encourage candor, belonging and openness where Black women feel confident showing up as their authentic selves. This starts by creating safe spaces for Black women to discuss the challenges they are facing in STEM fields and having honest conversations about the impact of stereotypes and bias on their careers.We encourage companies to look deeply at their own practices and what they might be doing to alienate women and people of color, or what they are doing to prevent them from being hired in the first place. Companies also need to provide more opportunities for Black women, especially those in their early careers, to engage directly with senior executives and ensure their voices are heard through regular meetings and listening sessions.Provide sponsorship and mentorshipSponsorship and mentorship are critical mechanisms for fostering personal and professional development. Having a senior-level sponsoran experienced industry veteran and advocate at the highest levels of an organizationis especially important for elevating more high-performing Black women into leadership positions across STEM fields. Weve seen how supportive champions and advocates have helped shape our own career paths.Our recent discussion at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundations Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. underscored how having a community of people who affirm and invest in your development is essential to empower Black women in STEM and grow the pipeline.Seeing physical representations of ourselves in our sponsors and mentors make the possibilities of what we can achieve much more tangible. Now, as leaders, we have the opportunity to sponsor and mentor other Black women and girls by sharing what weve learned and helping them build their own pathways to STEM leadership. We must all foster these relationships within our teams and organizations.Encourage continuous learning and skills trainingContinuous learning and training opportunities will help put more Black women and girls on the path to gain skills needed for STEM jobs of the future. This focus is central to the Girls Who Code movement, which has already taught computer science skills to more than 670,000 studentsand more than half come from historically underrepresented groups.In the workplace, expanding access to training can take many forms. Businesses can offer employees tuition reimbursement benefits for technology certification programs in areas like cybersecurity and cloud computing. Companies can also establish on-the-job tech apprenticeship programs to prepare people with non-traditional backgrounds, including military veterans, for fast-growing AI and cybersecurity roles.As leaders, we need to actively encourage Black women and other underrepresented talent in STEM fields to take advantage of available training opportunities and create new opportunities where there are gaps.Prioritize pay equityBlack women in the workforce continue to face persistent wage disparity. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Black women earned about 69 cents for every dollar White men earned in 2022a gap that compounds over the course of a career and perpetuates economic disparities.All employers should be working toward 100% pay equity and can start by reviewing pay for employees globally, taking into consideration variables that affect salary like job level, geography, business function, and experience. Businesses can also bring in independent third parties to help analyze pay equity for all employees on an annual basis in support of this objective.Invest in the long-term talent pipelineOne of the greatest opportunities we have in the business community is looking to the future and finding ways to support the next generation of talenthelping more Black women and girls participate and thrive in the STEM workforce.As an example, Synchrony and Girls Who Code teamed up on a summer program that connected 400 high school students with STEM skills building opportunities in areas like cybersecurity, AI, and game design. Synchrony has also started building a talent pipeline through the Girls Who Code alumni program, helping connect participants with STEM jobs.Looking at the impact of AI on the workforce and the next wave of tech advancements in areas like quantum computing, companies need to plan for talent development over a longer time horizon and put inclusivity at the center of those efforts.We need foundational changes so more Black women and girls have equitable opportunities to compete and succeed in our nations STEM workforce. We call on business leaders to advance at least one of these five actions to help close the gap for Black women in STEM. We all have a role to play.Tarika Barrett, PhD is the CEO of Girls Who Code, and Meredith Harper is the chief information security officer at Synchrony.

To prevent it from being accidentally pushed to the side, it has a rubber coating on the underside and, thanks to its zinc alloy materials, weighs a hefty and stable 326 grams.The 15W MagSafe-compatible Qi2 charging pad can be folded out to activate the iPhones standby mode. A charging slot for the Apple Watch is hidden behind the iPhone charging pad. If you need it, simply fold it up.Thomas Bergbold Thanks to Qi2 with 15W, the charging speed is high. After 30 minutes, we measured 30 per cent for the iPhone 15 and 60 per cent for the Apple Watch 7. A 20W power adapter is included with the Nightstand Charger 2. We would have preferred a little higher but this should be just enough for wireless charging of iPhone and Watch.Thomas Bergbold VerdictIt has to be noted that this charging station is not cheap at $110/90, but it is a premium-build charging station. The metal workmanship is high quality, the charging speed is fast and the footprint is perfect for the bedside table. Our only point of criticism is that the charging module for the Apple Watch is a fingernail killer. It is difficult to fold out of its recessed position.

Microsoft has added a pay-as-you-go option to access AI agents alongside its free M365 Copilot Chat plan.M365 Copilot Chatis a chat interface powered by OpenAIs GPT4o that serves up responses based on web data (rather than information held in the Microsoft Graph, as per the paid M365 Copilot subscription). It also includes features such as Copilot Pages and image generation, as well as data protection and IT admin controls at no cost to users.Businesses using M365 Copilot Chatcan also now deploy Microsofts Copilot AI agents, the company announced Wednesday, with metered pricing based on the number of times agents are used.As withmany software vendors, Microsoft began a major push around its M365 Copilot agents towards the end of 2024. These range from chatbots that can answer questions about specific documents to autonomous software agentsthat can complete more complex tasks such as client onboarding or customer support.M365 Copilot Chat provides an on-ramp for business to access Copilot and AI agents, Microsoft said.Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat now has a pay-as-you-go option that allows access to agents.MIcrosoftM365 Copilot Chat reflects a broader change in the world of generative AI happening in 2025: The rise of agents to complement personal AI assistants like Copilot, said J.P. Gownder, vice president and principal analyst on Forresters Future of Work team.The plan lacks many of the core features available in the main M365 Copilot subscription service which costs $30 per user a month notably the AI personal assistant embedded in apps such as Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel. Microsoft hasstruggled to convince large numbers of customers to adoptits M365 Copilot broadly since the service launched in November 2023.Microsoft said it expects customers will have a mix of Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilotour best-in-class offeringto drive AI transformation at scale.On the one hand, having access to a basic LLM is becoming table stakes, so it makes sense for Microsoft to offer a secure and managed Copilot Chat as part of the broader Microsoft 365 offering, said Gownder. On the other hand, this Copilot Chat can act as a conduit to agents, which will soon proliferate throughout enterprises.M365 Copilot Chat agent usage is measured in message credits. These are charged either with a pay-as-you-go model at 1 cent per message, or with pre-paid message bundles priced at $200 for 25,000 messages, Microsoft said in a blog post.Microsoft sets out four types of agent answers, or responses, that each consume a different number of message credits. For example, classic answers, used for pre-written responses that are manually authored when an agent is created, cost 1 message, while autonomous agent responses cost 25 messages.Consumption-based licensing provides a low-cost alternative for customers that want to get started with Copilot services grounded in M365 content, said Larry Cannell, research director at Gartners Technical Professionals Digital Workplace service.CIOs often prefer it to flat-based licensing of new products because they can better align value delivered to the cost of the product, he said. It is much easier to sell a solution based on demonstrated use rather than expected demand.
