MPWG: Women Ventures in Science, Engineering and Math

9453725沃伦通过成人教育联盟的倡议，与辛辛那提地区的两年制和四年制学院和大学以及公共援助妇女劳动力发展方案的主要组织合作，创建了科学、工程和数学领域的妇女创业项目。该项目的主旨是通过在科学、工程和数学领域的职业为这些少数民族妇女提供一条经济自给自足和家庭稳定的途径(扫描电子显微镜)。该项目的重点是外展、招聘、评估、准备和持续支持，以便目标群体能够进入结构分析专业，成为高科技工作场所的高绩效工作者。该项目以一场有效的营销活动开始，该活动旨在宣传在SEM工作的好处，结果是300-400名目标群体参加了两个预定的SEM招聘会之一。从这个池中，100-150名妇女将通过全面的评估过程被挑选出来，参加两个240小时准备计划中的一个。评估将帮助女性发现自我，确定可移植的技能和能力，并致力于在EM的职业生涯。预备课程将为妇女们提供充分的机会，使她们了解SM职业的优势/劣势、在男性主导的职业中的生存技能、自我激励技术、学术进修机会、支持系统和个人服务战略。在完成240小时的课程后，50名女性将进入两年制和四年制学院/大学的扫描电子显微镜专业。在女性开始接受教育后，合作机构将提供持续的支持和指导，以确保毕业和就业。学院咨询委员会已经成立，并将为该项目提供持续的指导和指导。预计一旦这一示范项目被证明是有效的，这一进程将制度化，并成为负责公共援助妇女劳动力发展活动的组织持续运作的一部分。***

9453725 Warren Through the initiative of the Consortium for Adult Education, the Women Ventures in Science, Engineering and Math project was created with the collaboration of the two- and four-year colleges and universities in the Cincinnati area, along with the primary organizations for workforce development programs for women on public assistance. The thrust of this project is to provide a pathway to economic self sufficiency and family stability for these minority women through careers in the fields of science, engineering, and math (SEM). The project focuses on outreach, recruitment, assessment, preparation and ongoing support so that the target group can matriculate into SEM majors and become high performance workers in a high tech work place. The project begins with an effective marketing campaign that sells the benefits of careers in SEM, with the outcome of 300-400 of the target group attending one of the two scheduled SEM Career Fairs. From this pool, 100-150 women will be selected through a holistic assessment process to participate in one of two 240 hour preparatory program. The assessment will assist the women in self discovery, identifying transferrable skills and aptitudes, and committing to a career in SEM. Preparatory sessions will provide the women with full exposure to the advantages/disadvantages of SEM careers, survival skills in male dominated occupations, self motivation techniques, academic refresher opportunities, a support system, and an individual service strategy. Upon completion of the 240 hour course, 50 women will matriculate into SEM majors at the two- and four-year colleges/universities. After the women start their educations, the collaborating institutions will provide ongoing support and direction to ensure graduation and employment. A College Advisory Committee has been established and will provide ongoing guidance and direction to the project. It is expected that once this model project is demonstrated to be effective, the process will be institutionalized and made part of the ongoing operation of the organization that are responsible for the workforce development activities of women on public assistance. ***
