"The School-To-Work [Preparing Young
Women for High Skill, High Wage Careers] Video and training have been
invaluable for teachers, counselors and school-to-work coordinators
here in North Carolina. IWITTS has armed us with the tools we need
to prepare young women for high skilled, high wage careers, which
has magnified our impact on young women's career choices."
-Loretta Martin, Director North Carolina School-To-Work Office
(retired)
"IWITTS's video shows counselors how to help
women see the prestige and financial independence nontraditional careers
can bring."
-Vordyn Nelson, Counselor, Ferris State University, Big Rapids,
Michigan
"Schools have to start doing more to prepare
girls for higher skilled, higher wage, better careers. Too often teachers
are willing to make the commitment to help but lack the skills to
achieve the goal. With IWITTS's video, science and technology teachers
will see great strategies for helping female students explore career
options in traditionally male-dominated field."
-Mary Fenton, Physics Teacher, Chantilly High School, Chantilly,
Virginia.
"The Preparing Young Women for High Skill,
High Wage Careers video should be seen by ALL high school teachers."
-Don Viles, Auto Technology Teacher Osbourn High School, Manassas,
Virginia
"My daughter was an auto technology student
in high school and is now looking ahead to a career in engineering.
I understand just how critical it was for her to receive support and
encouragement within the school. I hope all counselors and trade and
technology teachers will see IWITTS's video so they will understand
this too."
