NextGen Women Professionals
Building the Next Generation of Women Professionals
Why Should I Particpate in NextGen Women Professionals?
As the saying goes: “We don’t know what we don’t know.”
There are professional careers in many industries that some of us may not know about because
people in our networks – our families, friends, and community members – are not well-represented in these professions or simply do not know enough about what professionals do in these fields. Moreover, girls/ young women have the additional problem of breaking into some professions historically dominated by men. As a result, it is even harder to get to know what women are doing in business, healthcare, law, and other professions.
By signing up to be part of our NextGen Women Professionals network, we can open up a new
world to you of possible career paths. You can learn from professional women who have experience in industries you may never have heard of.
Learning about these opportunities may be the first step in choosing a career path… the first step
toward forming your own goals and ambitions as you move past your high school years.
