The MarketStar Foundation and MarketStar Women in Business group are proud to partner with the Women Tech Council to support the SheTech internship program and help female high school students recognize future career opportunities in tech sales. In June, a group of girls enrolled in the SheTech program visited MarketStar to connect with female leaders at the company and learn more about high-demand sales careers in cloud services, digital advertising, IT, SaaS, and social media.


 

The SheTech program is open to girls in 9th-12th grade who are interested in pursuing careers in STEM. Throughout the program, students have the opportunity to explore different STEM fields, connect with industry professionals, and receive guidance on how to apply for internships to gain hands-on experience in areas they are interested in. With over 12,000 participants, SheTech is the largest industry-led STEM program to activate, engage, and inspire high school girls to pursue STEM degrees.

Supporting this internship program aligns with MarketStar's Women in Business initiative and the MarketStar Foundation’s mission to connect people and resources to expand educational opportunities, empower self-reliance, and build better communities. We are grateful for our partnership with the Women Tech Council and look forward to future opportunities to connect with students in the SheTech program!
