Personal Perspectives Inform 'Women In Manufacturing'
Innovate Long Island

Some of Long Island’s most influential manufacturing leaders will come together Oct. 6 to discuss the role of women in engineering and technology-related fields – something this particular panel knows all about.


As part of Suffolk County Community College’s Women in Manufacturing/STEM Summit, the Women in Manufacturing Panel and Video Screening will shine a light on the ways professional passions and specific workforce needs are fueling new science, technology, engineering and mathematics education on Long Island – and how this can specifically empower female students.

The presentation includes the premiere of an educational video funded by the Workforce Development Institute – an Albany-based nonprofit that supports statewide job growth and retention through business-improvement grants and collaborations with industry, academia and government – and co-produced by WDI and Recruit Long Island, with a hand from Coram-based Switch Media.
