Who We Are

The NCWIT Workforce Alliance (WA) works to recruit, retain and advance women into creative technical roles and leads NCWIT’s efforts in corporate organizational reform. The Workforce Alliance facilitates ongoing projects, such as research concerning technical women’s career issues; produces promising practices and ideas for industry programs in leadership and mentoring; provides advice about K-12 and higher-education outreach and recruiting programs; and supports NCWIT and its national advocacy mission.  See the list of Workforce Alliance Members.

What We Do

In the last four years, NCWIT has published over 20 compelling resources focused on technical women, all available on our website http://www.ncwit.org.  

• A new groundbreaking report called Women in IT: The Facts is the culmination of several years of research and an effort to build a business case for technical women in the workforce http://www.ncwit.org/thefacts. 

• An all new “Supervising-in-a-box" series provides resources for addressing unconscious bias and institutional barriers that affect five different supervisory job functions. You can find this and other turn-key resources on our website.
