Counselors for Computing (C4C) Help Counselors Explore Viable Pathways for Computer Science

“California has nearly 75,000 open computing jobs (3.8x the state demand average rate) and more than 70% of STEM careers require computer science.” (Counselors for computing). 

On Tuesday, October 23, 2018, the National Center for Women in Technology (NCWIT) hosted the NCWIT Counselors for Computing (C4C) professional development for school counselors across San Diego. They provided counselors with information and resources they can use to support all students as they explore computer science education and careers. National and local data about Computer Science, education and careers was presented. Counselors had the opportunity to code and learn about the different pathways for computer science.
