Why Focus on Females?

• Involved simultaneously in the Pathways-to-Results Initiative with UIUC’s Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL)– Based on data, only 6% of females were enrolled in

manufacturing during fall 2013 (Equity Gap)– Other Data Highlights:

• Majority of students are between the ages of 18 and 29.• Majority of students (78%) are Black and Latino.• There are no students who are White and female.• Majority of students entering the program are not at the college

level in Math and English.
