Attract women to your table at career events with our banners featuring female role models working in STEM careers. Antigone Sharris, the coordinator of the Engineering Technology program at Triton College in Illinois, is passionate about increasing the number of female students in her program. She hung banners from IWITTS at a career awareness event for high school students. Antigone said that, "I've started using the 'Women in Engineering' banner. It is working to get the females to come over and talk about careers in engineering!!"
Are your recruitment and career events as appealing as they could be for women and girls? These banners, featuring female role models on the job, could make a big difference in getting more female students interested in your STEM programs, just like they are for Antigone. Plus, hang them in your schools' classrooms, hallways, and around campus to send the message that women can succeed in these career pathways.
Don't let any more potential students miss out on high-paying, rewarding careers in STEM and CTE. Women bring a different perspective to the classroom and the workplace. It's up to you to help them picture themselves in these careers.
