Careers in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) offer young women the potential for job satisfaction, good salaries, and opportunities for advancement.

EXPLORING CAREERS programming offers middle schools and girl-serving organizations the “MISSING LINK” to STEM careers. Download the program brochure.

Outstanding, easy-to-implement career exploration programming, custom-designed for your organization, provides you with the information and support you need to help young women make well-informed, career-related decisions when they begin high school.

The basic building block is a 50-minute workshop focusing on one career. Our programs are more effective than others for several reasons.

Women-only programs; enthusiastic, talented women serve as workshop leaders, assistants, and mentors/role models.

In each program students use math and science, communications (reading, writing, and listening), analytical thinking/problem-solving, and spatial relationship skills.

Mentors/Role Models play an essential part of this program. Girls and young women learn about a host of financially rewarding and personally satisfying career paths from the real-life stories of resilient, successful working women. Participants learn that other women work in many fields that they might not have considered.

The mentor flyer has names, career titles, and photos of 15 of our mentors/role models.

We use brain-based learning strategies that educator Eric Jensen has shown to be successful in reaching all kinds of learners. Workshop leaders engage participants in creative, hands-on activities. In part of every program, we get the young women up and moving to ensure high energy and enthusiasm for learning. We show participants skills, abilities, and interests they need for the particular career.
