Partner Spotlight: TechConnect WV
TechConnect WV, a WV Forward collaborator and broad-based coalition with a mission to advance the state’s innovation economy, is hosting the Women & Technology Conference on September 10 to empower the next generation of girls in STEM.
| While women fill nearly half of all U.S. jobs, they hold less than 25 percent of jobs in STEM fields, which customarily are better-paying than non-STEM jobs. How can we close this gender gap, encourage girls to consider STEM careers, and demystify STEM? A great lineup of inspirational women working in STEM fields will explore answers to these critical questions. Women working in technology fields, those interested in pursuing a technology-focused career and anyone interested in exploring ways to bridge the tech gender gap and inspire future generations of girls to pursue STEM fields is encouraged to attend. http://techconnectwv.org/events/2018-women-technology-conference/ |
