Pacific Lutheran College's Exciting New Initiative Empowering Girls to Pursue Diverse Careers

Breaking barriers, empowering minds, and embracing limitless potential!

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Pacific Lutheran College (PLC) and UNIQ YOU, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to challenging the expectations of what girls can achieve. Through this innovative initiative, UNIQ YOU aim to pave the way for a more inclusive and diverse future for our girls.

UNIQ YOU's Vision: Empowering Girls to Embrace Their Full Potential

At PLC, we believe that education extends beyond textbooks and classrooms. It encompasses fostering curiosity, instilling confidence, and encouraging students to dream big without limitations. Embracing this vision, we have joined forces with UNIQ YOU to provide our high school girls with the opportunity to engage in 1:1 real-world, personalized video conversations with inspiring women working in 'non-traditional' roles and industries.

Breaking the Mold: Redefining Gender Norms

In many societies, certain career paths are still perceived as "appropriate" for specific genders, creating barriers and limiting opportunities for young individuals. However, times have changed, and so should our mindset. Together with UNIQ YOU, PLC is committed to dismantling these stereotypes and opening doors to every field, occupation, and skill set regardless of gender.

A Glimpse into the Future: Personalized Video Conversations

Through the partnership with UNIQ YOU, our students will have the unique chance to interact with women who have defied conventions and succeeded in diverse industries. These empowering video conversations will expose the students to a broad spectrum of career options, from aviation to engineering, technology to construction, energy to environmental science, and beyond. By connecting with accomplished professionals from esteemed organizations such as Boeing, Urban Utilities, Shell's QGC Business, and more, our girls will gain invaluable insights and first-hand knowledge about various fields.

Igniting the Flame of Aspiration: Making Confident Career Choices

The impact of these 1:1 video conversations goes far beyond inspiring our students; it empowers them to make confident and informed career choices. Armed with knowledge, encouragement, and the belief that they can thrive in any industry, our girls will be better equipped to pursue their passions and contribute meaningfully to the workforce of tomorrow.
