PGE/LCP: Women Working Technical (WomenTech) Project - Large Collaborative Project

从事技术工作的妇女（WomenTech）项目由妇女贸易、技术和科学研究所（IWITTS）实施。 其目的是：（1）在三个社区学院示范点增加小型和微型企业培训课程的妇女征聘和留用人数;（2）在项目结束后使两性平等战略制度化;（3）向社区学院系统说明两性平等战略，说明增加小型和微型企业培训课程的妇女征聘和留用人数。 WomenTech正在利用一个国家咨询委员会就战略的制定和传播提供咨询意见。 每个演示站点都有一个领导团队，他们的建议和影响力将确保项目战略的长期制度化。 IWITTS将在小型和微型企业培训课程中开展关于招聘和留住妇女的培训，并为学院的行业伙伴提供关于成功接收妇女的培训。 全国参加小型和微型企业培训课程的妇女将通过妇女技术网站相互联系。 国际妇女目击培训中心将通过会议介绍和媒体报道以及利用领导小组和国家咨询委员会成员的建议和网络，在全国传播成功的战略。 通过增加在社区学院一级参加小型、微型和电子技术课程的妇女人数，妇女技术将为妇女在高薪的小型、微型和电子技术员职业中打开机会之门。

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.
