Mentoring Program Coordinator Workshops

February - May 2008

Much of today’s research on the participation of women in advanced and emerging technologies suggests that successful completion in a non-traditional career like those in IT security, nanotechnology, biotechnology and laser optic technology is linked to strong support systems including mentoring programs.

The Training Workshop for Mentoring Program Coordinators is designed to support secondary and post-secondary educators, career and technical education coordinators, counselors and others committed to developing mentoring programs for high school women that encourage participation in advanced and emerging technologies, STEM, and non-traditional programs. The one-day workshop will teach coordinators how to develop and sustain mentoring programs in their regions. The day’s agenda includes program design, planning, marketing, management and evaluation.
