“我们的行业女性大会一年比一年好。 Seeing over 1,000 teenage girls interacting with accomplished women who are thriving in traditionally male-dominated industries is especially rewarding,” said Vera Lewis-Jasper, dean of technical and professional education at 登录入口 and organizer of the annual Women in Industry Conference。
She noted that those interactions help open doors to a wide range of 乐竞体育 possibilities and underscore the growing number of opportunities available for women in industry。
“Based on feedback from past attendees, we know that our community colleges and corporate sponsors are addressing an important need for girls and women who are eager to learn more about technical and industrial 乐竞体育 opportunities,” said Lewis-Jasper。 “Our keynote speakers and workshop leaders are trailblazers who are inspiring attendees to pursue their goals and dreams and to realize that anything is possible for them。 I am especially grateful to our sponsors who make it possible for us to produce this special event again this year。”
