"This class and the supporting materials really brought home for me the<BR>
importance of this issue and gave very real, practical, easy-to-use options<BR>
and solutions to the hurdles one encounters in educating and inspiring young<BR>
women to pursue meaningful careers. We've incorporated the training in our<BR>
School-to-Career staff development classes and feel it is an essential piece<BR>
of the entire effort."<BR>
