Several of our young ladies in Ridge View's Carolina Alliance for Technology (CAT) program met with a team from the Richland Two Institute for Innovation (R2I2) about how to recruit and maintain women in STEM programs. Important questions such as: Why did you choose a STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) program?, and Would gender specific classes be helpful? Mentoring with other females in the industry and an all women's club were discussed. A BIG shout out as our Ridge View women begin to shape their future!
