Cybersecurity Case Study

Cybersecurity Program

"In the WomenTech Training, Donna Milgram explained why so few females enter the IT field and what we can do to attract them and this fundamentally changed the way we both approach females when discussing career opportunities in IT and how we teach female students already enrolled.

The WomenTech Training gave us the tools that allow us to be better equipped at increasing female enrollment as well as the ability to retain female students.”

Carlos Bodden

Department Chair, Networking Technology, Fayetteville Technical Community College, NC

"The WomenTech Educators Training helped us think outside the box for recruitment and retention of female students. The greatest benefit was seeing almost immediate results. In the first fall semester following the training, we saw overall growth in all four targeted programs."
