Legal Talent at the Crossroads: Why New Jersey Women Lawyers Leave Their Law Firms, and Why They Choose to Stay, 2009 report >> read full Adobe PDF

The Education and Career Development components of CWW focus on the foundations that lead to gender equity in a high-skill economy, including the development and implementation of policy in our education and workforce systems.

We also offer assessment and technical assistance services, including the Nontraditional Career Resource Center, a nationally-recognized program funded by the New Jersey Department of Education that provides research and resources on gender equity and career development.   Since 2003, the NCRC has served over 4000 students in over 400 NJ school districts, as well as providing the latest in research and information to over 3000 educators, parents, and policy makers by way of presentations, consultations, in-services, and participation in state advisory committees, in the attempt to effect core systemic changes. 

Building on the success of our recent report to the New Jersey State Employment and Training Commission Council on Gender Parity in Labor and Education, Legal Talent at the Crossroads, we have begun a long-term initiative on Women in the Law.   We are building three components to continue our work: a forum for research dissemination and training, action-research, and a proposed training program for senior-level women lawyers.  For more information about this initiative and to contribute your support, contact us as listed below.

We also seek to bring together major stakeholders of gender equity in a high-skill economy.  A key example of this is the Women in the Science and Tech Workforce Collaborative, a group of representatives from industry, government, education and community organizations with an interest in the representation and advancement of women and girls in the science and technology workforce for the tri-state region.

Our education and career development initiatives also work with other local, state and national organizations through funded research projects, technical assistance to schools, industries, and organizations, and collaborations with government and policy-makers.
