Invest in Girls

Invest in Girls is a program run by the Arizona Council on Economic Education intended to prepare young women for careers in the financial sector. It ran here at Valley through the month of February. 58 young women from Valley applied, and 21 were accepted and completed the program. It included how to dress (complete with a complimentary interview outfit provided by Dress for Success), interview and network professionally, and we had women from six different careers in finance come talk to the young women about how to get into those fields. It ended with a field trip and tour of the University of Arizona.
