HEAR WHAT YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING ABOUT THE FUTURES VIDEO AND TRAINING

"This class and the supporting materials really brought home for me the
importance of this issue and gave very real, practical, easy-to-use options

and solutions to the hurdles one encounters in educating and inspiring
young
women to pursue meaningful careers. We've incorporated the training in our

School-to-Career staff development classes and feel it is an essential
piece
of the entire effort."
-Debra Schluter, School-to-Career Coordinator
Aurora Public Schools, Aurora, Colorado

"The Futures video should be seen by ALL high school teachers."
-Don Viles, Auto Technology Teacher
Osborn High School, Manassas, Virginia

"The IWITTS materials are powerful tools for teachers and counselors
working
to attract girls to technology and science careers."
-Naomi Obie, Program Administrator
