Search for Opportunities

Many organizations are interested in diversifying their workforce, including hiring more women.  You can find a directory of such diversity pipeline programs here (consolidated by Gorick Ng). You may also want to review the resources linked at the bottom of the page.  Read more about searching for a job or internship. 

Negotiation Tools

Unfortunately there still exists a gender wage gap in many parts of the world, including the United States.  Check out these resources to help you research salaries and negotiate offers. You can also log in to Big Interview with your Penn Key to access an extensive negotiation curriculum.

Connect with Penn Women’s Center

The Penn Women’s Center works with students, staff and faculty of all genders and identities. The Center’s mission is to promote gender justice, and to empower, support, and advance personal and professional development for women and female identified persons.
