Join us for a special event honoring women pursuing technical careers. To address the barriers to pursuing a technical and skilled trade field, Dunwoody remains committed to closing gaps in awareness, access, retention, and advancement. Women, especially those who are underserved and under-resourced, can face unique challenges to achieving economic success.

By bringing more women into the high-paying, high-demand career fields Dunwoody trains for, we combat economic disparities on an individual and community level.
