Women's resource Services receives $1500 Shell grant
UH-CLC Women's Resource Services is the recipient of a $1500 grant from the Shell Funds for Women's Careers, Shell Companies Foundation, Inc, Houston.
The grant will fund a pilot project on women's careers, provide a scholarship for study at UH-CLC by an out-of-state resident woman interested in a management or non-traditional career, and allow purchase of slides on women as artists for “Women in Art," the first Women's Studies offering in the Education Department. WRS will match the "Women in Art" allocation.
Sandy Anderson will oversee the pilot portion as part of her master's project in behavioral sciences, "Upward Mobility of Women in the World of Work." Geared toward completion in December, the pilot project will be the first stop toward the establishment, by summer 1979, of an information-referral service for women regarding career opportunities and expectations, corporation management - training programs, and non-traditional employment opportunities. This project will fill a vital need for women seeking information about local industrie's receptivity of women in non-traditional roles.
In initiating this project, Anderson said, "I am personally interested in the problems hampering the success of women in non-traditional careers. I am going on the assumption that companies are trying. I want to find out where they are having problems in helping the upward mobility of women. By sharing information from other companies who have solved the problems, we will be helping women.”
