The WIA Foundation was pleased to join the Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum (WWLF) in announcing the Telecom Trailblazers initiative, an effort aimed at fostering STEM learning, enlightening young women about digital infrastructure, and motivating them to pursue careers in telecommunications. The new initiative was launched at the Wireless Women’s Leadership Luncheon in February 2024 and the Telecom Trailblazers program kicked off its first effort on March 12, 2024 at Verizon Innovation Labs in San Francisco. Through a partnership with IGNITE Worldwide, the WWLF’s Telecom Trailblazers program invited local high-school students to explore the power of connectivity and engage with cutting-edge connected technologies firsthand, including robotics, automation and augmented reality. The day concluded with wisdom and insight from a panel of women telecom professionals, including the leadership team from WWLF, who shared their experiences as STEM professionals in the telecom industry.
