The future is bright for Utah’s tech sector as job opportunities are rapidly growing across the state. But currently, women hold less than one-fourth of jobs in science, technology, engineering and math. Without more STEM opportunities for women and girls, women will continue to be left behind in technology professions.
Please join United Way of Salt Lake at the 2018 Power of Your Purse fundraiser and gala. You can support STEM learning opportunities that will spark a passion and help ensure more women and girls can explore the possibilities of a future in science, technology, engineering, and math!
