The Education and Career Development components of CWW focus on the foundations that lead to gender equity in a high-skill economy, including the development and implementation of policy in our education and workforce systems.

One of our longest-running projects in this area is the provision of research and outreach support to the New JerseyCouncil on Gender Parity in Labor and Education, a legislated body housed in the State Employment and Training Commission in the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. 

We also offer intervention and technical assistance services, including theNontraditional Career Resource Center, a nationally-recognized program funded by the New Jersey Department of Education that provides research and resources on gender equity and career development.   Since 2003, the NCRC has served over 3000 students in over 400 NJ school districts, as well as providing the latest in research and information to over 2000 educators, parents, and policy makers by way of presentations, consultations, in-services, and participation in state advisory committees, in the attempt to effect core systemic changes. 

Our education and career development initiatives also work with other local, state and national organizations through funded research projects, technical assistance to schools, industries, and organizations, and collaborations with government and policy-makers.
