 The Gender Initiative, a project established to address the
gender digital divide, seeks ways to increase women's access to IT training and
career opportunities. The Cisco Networking Academy Program presents an excellent
opportunity to help narrow the gender gap and increase female participation in
the Internet economy, thus providing a useful "research laboratory".
CLI and its Gender Initiative partners have conducted research on gender
recruitment, participation, and retention strategies by studying the Networking Academy
program. Based on the findings, CLI and its Gender Initiative partners have developed effective tools to increase female retention and recruitment in the
classroom and are creating best practice profiles presented here as strategies.
