Career Pioneers
Career Pioneers are people who are enrolled in degree programs or working in a job in which the total population is comprised of 25% or less of one gender.
Why should you be a Career Pioneer? Students benefit from exposure to a variety of careers and guidance that does not pigeonhole them because of their gender.
