The Women Working Technical (WomenTech) Project is being carried out by the Institute for Women in Trades, Technology & Science (IWITTS). It aims to: 1) increase the recruitment and retention of women in SMET courses at three community college demonstration sites; 2) institutionalize gender equity strategies beyond the Project's life; and 3) illustrate to the community college system gender equity strategies that increase recruitment and retention of women in SMET courses. WomenTech is utilizing a National Advisory Committee to advise on development and dissemination of strategies. Each demo site has a Leadership Team, whose advice and influence will ensure long-term institutionalization of project strategies. IWITTS will conduct training on recruitment and retention of women in SMET courses and for the colleges' industry partners on successfully receiving women. Women in SMET courses around the country will connect with each other through the WomenTech web site. IWITTS will disseminate successful strategies nationally -- through conference presentations and media coverage and by capitalizing on the advice and networks of Leadership Team and National Advisory Committee members. By increasing the number of women in SMET courses at the community college level, WomenTech will open wide the doors of opportunity for women in well-paying SMET technician careers.

女性工作技术 (WomenTech) 项目由女性贸易、技术和科学研究所 (IWITTS) 实施。 其目标是： 1) 在三个社区大学示范点增加 SMET 课程中女性的招募和保留； 2) 在项目周期之外将性别平等战略制度化； 3) 向社区学院系统说明性别平等战略，以增加 SMET 课程中女性的招募和保留。 WomenTech 正在利用国家咨询委员会就战略的制定和传播提供建议。 每个演示站点都有一个领导团队，其建议和影响力将确保项目策略的长期制度化。 IWITTS 将为 SMET 课程中的女性招募和留用培训，并为学院的行业合作伙伴提供如何成功接收女性的培训。 全国各地参加 SMET 课程的女性将通过 WomenTech 网站相互联系。 IWITTS 将通过会议演讲和媒体报道以及利用领导团队和国家咨询委员会成员的建议和网络，在全国范围内传播成功的战略。 通过增加参加社区大学 SMET 课程的女性人数，WomenTech 将为女性从事高薪 SMET 技术人员职业打开机会之门。
