Setting an Accelerated Pace for Recruiting and Retaining Technical Women
NCWIT Pacesetters is a fast-track program in which senior executives from universities and corporations commit to increasing their numbers of technical women. Pacesetters organizations work to recruit previously untapped talent pools of technical women and retain women who are at risk of leaving, resulting in "net new" women for their organizations. Together, Pacesetters seek to add 1,000 net new women to the U.S. tech talent pool by 2012.
