WomenTech Works to Increase the Number of Women Enrolled in Technology Education

 

 

WomenTech works to increase the number of women enrolled and retained in Technology education

 

College of Alameda is a national demonstration site under the WomenTech Project, administered by the Institute for Women in Trades, Technology & Science.

 

The purpose of WomenTech is to recruit women to technology programs at the college and retain them in programs such as Automotive, Cisco Networking, Aviation, Diesel Technology, and Microsoft Networking. 

 

The college hosts a career expo and multi-cultural fair where participants hear from female role models on how they made it, participate in hands-on demonstrations in labs, talk with instructors in targeted programs, and meet with industry representatives. A college web site also provides information about the program including a message board that allows discussion and questions about the training programs.

 

 

For more information, contact Sue Chin at:   (510) 522-7221.
