Providing Education & Certification to support tomorrow\u2019s female leaders!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When walking along one of my engineering school\u2019s hallway, one poster always caught my attention- A pair of blue babies booties, next to a pair of pink ones with the question \u201cGUESS WHICH ONE WILL GROW UP TO BE AN ENGINEER!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that Engineering has historically been a male-dominated profession. Interest in math and sciences might still be a little off putting for young ladies just trying to find their way into the working world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are fortunate to live in an era where we have so many female leaders and role models who can guide the next generation and ensure that the women of the future have an even brighter future! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
