About the Outreach Kit:
Proven Results
IWITTS found that the schools that implemented recruitment strategies, including the materials in this kit, saw in an increase in female enrollment of 10-15%!
Female Role Models are Key to Success
Many technology educators are eager to increase the number of women in their classes, and the key to doing that is using images and information about female role models on the job. Women don't think of themselves in careers like construction, engineering, and auto technology because the percentage of women working in these jobs is still so small.
That's why we developed this easy-to-use kit with samples of a real school's brochures, flyers, a PowerPoint presentation and templates for each of these components that you can customize to your school's specific programs.
Plus, its questionnaires and information pages will guide you in finding female role models as well as helping you to collect the information that's most important to prospective female students.
Online Strategy Guide
In the Online Strategy Guide, learn about the most important recruitment information to feature on your department or program's website. These recommendations are based on lessons learned and best practices with the eight community colleges in the CalWomenTech Project.
“I am not the most experienced person in Publisher...if I can do this, anyone can! You cover the questions that women will want to know -- and this information should be located in one convenient place -- such as the brochure!”
~ Sally Daniel, Women in Technology, Tidewater Community College, Virginia Beach
