Webinar Invitation: Integrating the Disability Perspective into the WIRED Framework
June 16, 2008
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Eastern
The 21st century global economy demands a more highly educated workforce equipped
with the skills to ensure career opportunities for American workers and to make
America's businesses competitive in a global market. As we seek to develop America's
talent to meet the recruitment and retention needs of the 21st century workforce,
we need to ensure that people with disabilities are included in the WIRED strategies
to create pipeline hires. The workforce system needs to promote the employment of
people with disabilities in jobs which provide career lattices and a variety of
STEM and other high-growth, high-technology sectors at the regional, state, and
local levels. This Webinar will discuss strategies to show how the "disability perspective"
can be integrated into the WIRED framework.

NGCP June Webcast: The Gender Chip Project
June 11, 2008
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Pacific
How can we use media to inspire young girls to enter the science and technology
fields? In this webcast, participants will watch a short clip of "The Gender Chip Project" and then discuss ways to use the
film, accompanying online toolkits and curricula for their different stakeholders.
When presented in a range of public settings–from professional group meetings to
college peer clusters and presentations for high school students–"The Gender Chip
Project" provokes deep and wide-ranging conversations among women in the STEM fields,
and serves as a springboard to build awareness and affect change at the institutional
and policy levels.
