Women

Welcome to the ASCC’s resource hub for women seeking to further their education and succeed in the workforce!

Our goal is to support you in your personal and professional growth. Here, you’ll find information, and resources to help you reach your goals.

The need for these resources is substantial as the evidence for gender inequality in employment in the United States is overwhelming and well-documented. Women continue to face systemic barriers to equal pay, promotion opportunities, and equal representation in leadership positions.

Please consider the resources on this page or make an appointment with us to address your concerns, work through challenges, and strengthen your application materials.

Legal resources:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund provides support for women and men who have experienced workplace sexual harassment.

The National Women’s Law Center – Provides resources for how to deal with discrimination and access to healthcare.

Lean In – an organization founded by Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, to empower women to achieve their ambitions.

Washington Center for Women in Business (WCWB) – “The WCWB seeks to “level the playing field” for women entrepreneurs.
