Career education classes include guest appearances by Hartford area women employed in professions such as law, aviation, finance, and applied science and technology. The intent is to present role models in these fields so the girls can envision themselves in similar settings. Once they can picture themselves in a particular profession, they are better able to strategize an educational plan to help them achieve their career goals. Students are placed in participating non-profit and public sector agencies, where they can gain work experience and the agency can benefit from their help. The girls' salaries have been funded through the federal Job Training Partnership Act.
Many girls return year after year.
