Welcome Glitter 2009!

Posted by Mike Sinkula on May 28th, 2009 in Events with No Comments

GLITTER (Get Launched In Technology Through Education and Resources) is hosting its 3rd annual Career Day on Friday, May 29, 2009, 9:30 am – 1:00 pm.

The purpose of the conference is to encourage high school girls to consider an information technology education as a path to a career in almost any field.  (Although over 90% of information technology jobs are in non-IT companies, the number of women entering the field of IT has actually declined in the last few years.)

Seattle Central Community College’s Information Technology (IT) Programs (http://seattlecentral.edu/spotlight/spot_it.php), is hosting the event along with IGNITE (Inspiring Girls Now In Technology Education), http://www.ignite-us.org.

Please welcome 80 high school girls from Seattle Public High Schools who are interested in IT programs.

Thanks!

Gina Nakamura, Outreach Coordinator
1701 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122
