Technical innovation plays a critical role in virtually every sector of the economy. Yet, only 25 percent of professional IT-related occupations in the American 2009 workforce were held by women, down from 36 percent in 1991, according to research from the National Center for Women & IT. In 2008, only 18 percent of computer and information science degrees were awarded to women, down from 37 percent in 1985. In promoting it AWIT program, PCCenter will award $5000 scholarships in January to 2 progressive women who are interested in one of their IT programs.
Students enrolled in PCCenter’s one year programs will receive an HP Stream 2 in 1 computer with a one year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 and a two year service agreement.
