Did you know that in the past 10 years, growth in STEM jobs has been
three times greater than non-STEM Jobs? Or that 80% of the fastest
growing occupations in the United States depend upon mastery of
mathematics and scientific knowledge and skills?
In order
to ensure our Girl Scouts have the skills they need to succeed, as
well as the Mentors and networking to help them enter the field of
their choice, we are happy to announce our continued partnership with
PepsiCo and the Million Women Mentors
Program.
This program will connect Senior and
Ambassador Girl Scouts with STEM professionals in fields such as
Research & Development, Information Technology, Engineering,
Purchasing, and Finance.
If you are interested in (or
considering) going to college to earn a degree in a STEM field such as
Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics, we encourage you to
apply for one of these slots.
As part of the program, we are having an Initial Kickoff Event
Virtually February 28th, for all of the Mentors and Mentees to meet,
learn more about the Million Women Mentors Program, and begin
networking. Additionally, there will also be a mandatory Mid-Point
Event check-in on June 7th. We recommend that each student should plan
15 hours to work with their Mentor over the course of 10 months. The
Mentee and Mentor can decide together specific times and frequency.
