TechWomen 2013 Emerging Leader Application is Now Open

The TechWomen program is accepting applications from women who are engaged or rising in professional careers that require significant expertise and knowledge of STEM fields and/or innovative application of these skills, and who already are – or show promise of being – role models for others in their countries, particularly for women and girls. 

Participants travel to California for a professional mentorship and exchange program at leading Silicon Valley companies. TechWomen connects and supports the next generation of women leaders in STEM fields by providing them access and opportunity to advance their careers and pursue their dreams.

Applicants must be women who are permanent residents of Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, the Palestinian Territories, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tunisia, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

TechWomen is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), and administered by IIE’s San Francisco office.
