CENTER DESCRIPTION

The Center for Women and Work (CWW) addresses the needs of working women by studying public policies in the field; conducting, fostering and disseminating research on areas of concern; and sponsoring educational and skills development programs for working women, policy makers, corporate leaders, students, and community organizations. The Center's primary goal is to forge links and dialogue between researchers who study women and workplace issues and decision-makers in corporations, government, labor, and community organizations. The Center has a tradition of working with leading corporations on public programs. The goal is to improve the situation of working women by creating a dialogue that combines research findings with practical experiences. The Center is a member of the consortium of women's programs at Rutgers University.
