Women In TechnologyEl Camino College’s Women in Technology (WIT) program has scheduled a free “Girls & Women Technical Conference" from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 15 in the college’s East Dining Room. This conference is part of the college’s Women History Month celebration and is designed to introduce women and girls to study paths and jobs in non-traditional careers. Workshops led by ECC Industry & Technology Division faculty and a resource/job fair are also on the day’s agenda. 

 

The day begins with registration and a keynote presentation from Alejandra Torres, director of Women in Non-Traditional Employment Roles (WINTER).
