IWITTS is currently working with three community colleges to
assist them in proactive recruitment of females to technology.

We are in beta-test phase of a WomenTech portion of their
college Web sites that will feature female role models that
have graduated from tech programs,along with e-support
strategies, and many other features. This is due to launch in Fall.
The WomenTech sites have also held successful WomenTech
Career Expo's with hands-on activities.

IWITTS is also leading Cisco's Gender Initiative and
has profiled 5 successful Cisco Networking Academy Programs
with a high percentage of females recruited and retained. The
ciscowomen Web site is due to launch in the next two weeks.l

If you'd like to be notified of the launching of the WomenTech
Community College Web sites or the Cisco Gender Initiative

our School-To-Work WomenTech E-Newsletter.
