WIA and WWLF Launch Telecom Trailblazers Initiative to Inspire Girls in Telecom

The Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) and the Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum (WWLF) announced the launch of Telecom Trailblazers, an initiative to encourage STEM learning, teach young women about digital infrastructure and inspire them to pursue careers in telecommunications. Telecom Trailblazers’ programming will be carried out in partnership with IGNITE Worldwide, a non-profit dedicated to achieving gender equity in STEM by connecting girls with STEM opportunities during the school day. The initiative will offer fun, hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematical challenges to promote STEM learning, confidence, and identity in girls, with the goal of sparking interest in telecommunications and broadband infrastructure. The initiative’s programming will seek to inspire female students with the unlimited potential of smart communities and the power of connected technology.
