Equity Education

Major Technology Software Company Supports "Women At Work"

Autodesk, an industry leader in computerized aided design (CAD) software is encouraging and supporting women working in the traditionally male-dominated math, science, and technology industries. They provide a special web page where women can explore non-traditional career opportunities. The site highlights females currently employed by Autodesk, a project titled Design Your Future (DYF), leading women ("National Champions") from around the country who support DYF, and other inspiring items. Students (especially females) should be encouraged to take a look. Check it out on the web at http://www.autodesk.com/dyf/wawork/waworkindex.html
