Penn State programs lead to hi-tech opportunities Women who want to earn the same wages as men, would be wise to get a two-year associate degree in some area of technology, ac- cording to Helen Stager, coordina- tor of the Opportunities in Tech- nology program at Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus. Everyone has a chance to ad- vance career-wise in fields where there are more job opportunities than there are applicants, said Stager, adding, “There's still tre- mendous stereotyping of what women see themselves as able to do. They need to dream bigger, to prepare themselves for the future.” “All banks, all kinds of busi- nesses, not just engineering and telephone companies, are already competing for people who have some education in a technological area,” said Stager. She pointed out that steering more people into technology not only helps individuals get started on well paying careers, but, also, is important in making this region more competitive in attracting new business and meeting “person” power needs of existing industry. Penn State Wilkes-Barre offers two-year associate degrees in business administration/manage- ment information systems, tele- communications technology, elec- trical engineering technology, mechanical engineering technol- ogy, surveying technology and biomedical equipment technology. The opportunities in Technol- ogy program provides special coun- seling support to the women en- rolled in the two-year programs, and Stager takes pride in positions they have attained. Katherine Fader interns in Spain Katherine Fader of 13 Skyview Drive, Dallas, an Indiana Univer- sity of Pennsylvania Spanish major, is currently doing an in- ternship with the Spanish Gov- ernment in Madrid, Spain. Aninternshipis an educational plan which integrates classroom experience and practical experi- ence in work situations. It allows students to translate academic principles to action, to test their career interests, and to develop skills and abilities through care- fully planned and supervised programs related to the degree they are seeking.

Among the mem- bers of that advisory board are some women who hold two-year technology degress. One, Sue Stravinsky, a telecommunications technology graduate, worked in her field while she studied for a four- year degree. She's now a customer service representative at C-TEC. Advisory board member Jackie Stash, who graduated in May with a two-year degree in electrical engineering technology, intends to go on for a four-year degree in the same field. JoAnn Post combined education in marketing with two two-year degrees, one in electrical engineering technology, the other in telecommunications technology. She now manages five home light- ing showrooms for Friedman Elec- tric in Scranton. In Stager's estimation, the combination that could take a woman to the topmost echelon of management would be a bache- lor's degree in liberal arts topped off with an associate degree in some phase of technology. “As an educational institution, we work in partnership with the economic development organiza- tions to identify labor pool gaps and to fill those gaps,” said Stager. “Then, when a company considers coming here or expanding here, it can be told that this region has human resources with the appro- priate skills.” “Right now, in this area, the HI-TECH OPPORTUNITY - Helen Stager (standing), coordinator of Penn State Wilkes-Barre’s Opportunties in Technology program which counsels women to prepare themselves for higher-paying, non-traditional jobs, is pictured with Jackie Stash, who earned an associate degree in electrical engineering technology in May.
