This WITI - Women in Technology International Virtual Career Fair connects you directly with employers that have open technology career opportunities, from the comfort of your home or office. As an attendee you will quickly see employers that want to hire technology talent, the specific opportunities available, and additional information about each hiring organization. You will choose which employers you want to interact with and then engage in a one-on-one chat directly with a recruiter at those organizations. You can share your background, experience, resume, and ask questions.

The Commission will launch the Network and Information Security (NIS) Public-Private Platform on 24 June 2013. The output of the platform will feed into the Commission recommendations on cybersecurity across the value chain to be adopted in 2014. Interested stakeholders are invited to express their interest in participating in the platform before 24 May 2013.

Students and teachers in Europe are keen to "go digital", computer numbers have doubled since 2006 and most schools are now "connected", but use of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) and digital skill levels are very uneven.

The Women Powering Technology Summit is coming to The Marriott in Santa Clara June 2-4. Business and thought leaders are coming from all over the nation to lead hands on workshops, presentations and dynamic panel discussions about cutting edge trends.

This 3 day workshop is research focused and will provide opportunities for undergraduate women from the USA and around the globe to work on exploratory problems in teams led by researchers from industry, academia and other computing related domains.

Sue Mellon, gifted support coordinator for Springdale Junior and Senior High/Colfax School in the Allegheny Valley School District, thought 7th and 8thgraders could develop a deeper understanding of poetry by playing around with robotics. Poetry isn’t always easy for students. But with hands-on engagement, they gain new understanding. Science, technology, engineering, math, art - that’s all really important. But really, integration is what’s the issue. That’s the critical piece.

This resource is a product of the NPA ADVANCE project, a three-year project of the National Postdoctoral Association to foster the transition of women postdoctoral scholars (postdocs) into the professoriate. The project has been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE program, which seeks to increase the representation and advancement of women in academic science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers. NPA ADVANCE has sought to adapt and disseminate promising institutional practices for assisting women scientists and engineers to make this transition. The project has drawn on successful models from past ADVANCE programs and the broader postdoctoral community in order to identify promising models and approaches that could eff ectively be replicated at research institutions. Now available as a free downloadable PDF.

Women are less likely to pursue jobs in science and technology because their better language skills give them more career options, new research shows. Although the gender gap in mathematics has narrowed in recent decades between males and females, women are still less likely to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) -than their male counterparts. The new study published in Psychological Science looks at whether differences in overall patterns of math and verbal ability might play a role.

Computing is an essential part of the global economy, and training in this critical field prepares students for careers in a variety of sectors. In fact the U.S. Department of Labor estimates that there will be 1.4 million computing-related job openings by 2020. Yet despite its growing importance, computer science is only taught in a minority of American schools. There are currently just over 42,000 high schools in the United States, but only 2,100 of them were certified to teach the AP computer science course in 2011. In 2012, of the 24,782 AP CS test takers, only 4,635 were women, 1,014 were African American, and 1,757 were Hispanic. Only 40,000 students graduated with computing-related bachelor's degrees from U.S. universities last year. Unless we help more students decide to study computing at the undergraduate level, we will be able fill only 32 percent of the 1.4 million jobs with qualified candidates. How can the public and private sectors bridge this opportunity divide? Join Microsoft and NCWIT for a discussion with leading experts to ensure that all U.S. students and schools have what they need to attain computer science knowledge, skills, and the experience necessary to succeed in the global economy.

The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) and Bank of America [NYSE: BAC] have selected 35 female high-school students as winners of the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing, an award designed to increase the number of women pursuing careers in computing and technology.
