Edmonds Community College in collaboration with ATE Centers and projects, is researching, assessing, identifying, compiling, and disseminating effective recruitment strategies used in program design to increase the recruitment of women and girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and fields. The goal is to promote long-term, fundamental changes in the recruitment of females into educational programs that prepare them to enter STEM careers. Using the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) as a basis of a theoretical model, this extensive 3-year research project draws on literature reviews and other projects in gender research.The intellectual merit of the proposal is that it is informed by rigorous research, the outcome of which is a constellation of pragmatic practices for recruitment of females into educational programs that prepare them to enter STEM careers. The project advances understandings of the knowledge base on social cognitive career theory as a model for understanding women's academic and career choices; has the potential to broaden participation of underrepresented students in STEM careers; and enhances the infrastructure for research in the field.The aim to broaden female participation in the workforce is beneficial to society as a whole because it diversifies and strengthens the workforce. Therefore, it is advantageous for ATE programs to address gender equity in recruiting practices, eliminate information gaps, and dispel negative perceptions and inaccurate stereotypes. Project outcomes and deliverables stress implementation of recruitment strategies in real and pragmatic ways. The findings of this project will be significant for educational programs and industries across the United States.

埃德蒙兹社区学院与ATE中心和项目合作，正在研究，评估，确定，汇编和传播在方案设计中使用的有效招聘策略，以增加妇女和女孩在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业和领域的招聘。其目标是促进长期的，根本性的变化，在招聘女性进入教育计划，准备他们进入STEM职业。该研究项目以社会认知职业理论（SCCT）为理论模型基础，以性别研究领域的文献综述和其他研究项目为基础，历时3年。其学术价值在于，通过严谨的研究得出了一系列实用的做法，为女性进入STEM职业做好准备。该项目促进了对社会认知职业理论知识库的理解，将其作为理解妇女学术和职业选择的模式;有可能扩大代表性不足的学生对科学、技术、工程和数学职业的参与;并加强了该领域研究的基础设施;扩大妇女参与劳动力的目标有利于整个社会，因为它使劳动力多样化并加强了劳动力。因此，ATE计划有利于解决招聘实践中的性别平等问题，消除信息差距，消除负面看法和不准确的陈规定型观念。项目成果和交付成果强调以真实的和务实的方式执行征聘战略。该项目的研究结果将对美国各地的教育计划和行业具有重要意义。
