The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Global Leaders Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposal submissions for the FY 2024 TechWomen program to empower, connect, and support the next generation of women leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The exchange program uses a mentorship model to support emerging STEM leaders from Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, South and Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2011, TechWomen has supported women engaged in STEM industries from specific countries by providing a highly-tailored mentorship experience in the United States with American women representing leading science and technology companies and institutions. Pending the availability of FY 2024 funding, TechWomen will link approximately 100-110 female participants (emerging leaders) who have at least two years of professional experience in STEM industries with female peer mentors in the United States for a five- to six-week mentorship program to support the emerging leaders' development in STEM industries and enable them to reach their full potential in a science and technology career.Please see the full announcement for additional details.
