Nontraditional Career Preparation: Root Causes and Strategies
(Mimi Lufkin, CEO, National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity)
NAPE has developed a new tool for educators that distills the current research literature
on nontraditional career preparation with an emphasis on women in STEM fields. The
tool includes a summary table that can be used in workshop settings as an overview
of the root causes, theories and strategies that lead to increasing the participation
and completion of underrepresented gender students in nontraditional career preparation
programs. The tool also includes a more comprehensive section that provides you
with more detail on the research evidence, strategies and recommendations for program
development and resources for strategy implementation. In addition to the tool,
NAPE has developed an online version that allows for self-directed exploration and
provides a web-based location for the addition of new resources and models. This
webinar will introduce you to these tools, show you how to use them for your own
professional development as well as make recommendations for their use in group
professional development settings.
