We are Committed to Supporting Nontraditional Career Seekers
亨内平技术学院 supports students in their efforts to pursue nontraditional careers. 由性别定义, nontraditional career fields are composed of 75% or more of members of the opposite sex. For example, a non-traditional career field for a woman employs three men for every woman. 男人的情况正好相反. (All gender employment statistics are gathered from the US Department of Labor.)

Our Strategy is Built on Best Practices
Access to role models who students can SEE and HEAR from greatly increases the chance of persisting in educational programs and careers where they are often ‘one of few’.
Hennepin Tech has a dedicated professional who is available to meet with students enrolled in a nontraditional career field. Being up front about the challenges and benefits of a nontraditional career, she uses her resources to connect students through informational interviewing, 工作见习, joining with professional associations as a student, and making connections with other nontraditional career seekers to help them find that extra support required.

Hennepin Tech Women in Tech and BI Worldwide Female Leaders Team Up for Mentoring
Hennepin Tech and BI Worldwide have teamed up to provide a mentoring program for female students enrolled in Networking & 网络安全. Mentors and mentees meet individually monthly and gather as a group regularly to discuss topics related to women entering a field where they are one of few. Here they learn how to self-advocate, self-promote, and to support and empower one another.
