Please Note: The WIT Girls Job Shadow Program is for members currently enrolled in High School and rising 9th graders
The WIT Girls Job Shadow Program will take place from July 15-19th 2024 from 8:30AM to 2:00PM.
What is the WIT Girls Job Shadow Program? Teenage girls are provided with a glimpse of the day-to-day excitement of a career in technology. For one week in the summer, rising 9th graders and high school girls are paired with various technology centered organizations to experience the possibilities of a career in a STEAM field. Volunteers at these organizations share their education and career paths with the girls, giving them an idea of what it takes to succeed.
