The Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology is taking place this week. “The Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology kicks off on March 5 with a conversation to engage women and women’s engineering and technology organizations. The intent is not just to encourage young women to seek engineering, math, science and technology careers but to advance women in these careers and provide a support network that will keep them engaged.”
I encourage you to attend. It is not only for women who are looking for entry level jobs, but also for women who are looking to make a career shift into technology and engineering. Plus, a great way to network for new business ideas.
