科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)培训中女性的招募、留住和毕业是我国的关键需求[1，2]。在STEM内部，计算和技术行业，特别是一些利基行业，预计将比其他行业更快地增加就业机会。新兴技术(EmTech)集中的领域，如网络安全、数据科学、移动开发、机器学习和云计算，在未来十年将拥有数千个工作岗位，这将需要大量的技术专业人员。EmTech可以利用最大的未开发女性人才库和归国女性来填补劳动力缺口。因此，为了了解重返(重新)进入计算和技术领域的女性所面临的障碍和挑战，2021年3月组织了为期三天的虚拟会议NSF Reset。在这张海报中，我们展示了会议与会者在促进资源(重新)进入EmTech教育和专业渠道方面的满意度和有效性的初步结果。
Recruitment, retention, and graduation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) training are critical needs in our nation [1, 2]. Within STEM, the computing and tech industry, specifically some niches, are expected to grow job opportunities more quickly than others. Emerging Technology (EmTech) concentrations like cybersecurity, data science, mobile development, machine learning, and cloud computing will have thousands of jobs in the next decade which will require a large pool of technical professionals. EmTech can use the largest untapped talent pool of women and returning women to fill the gap in the workforce. Hence, to understand the barriers and challenges faced by returning women to (re-) enter computing and tech fields, a three-day virtual conference, NSF RESET, was organized in March 2021. In this poster, we present the preliminary results on conference attendees' satisfaction level and effectiveness in facilitating resources to (re-)enter EmTech educational and professional pipeline.
