Labor agency programs aim to give women means to succeed - MIRIAM GOTTFRIED, the Oregonian
Shinae Chun, director of the U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau came to Portland on Wednesday looking for business partners to help teach career and financial skills to women.... A majority of the Women's Bureau's programs center around online learning where a volunteer mentor -- usually a teacher, a woman business owner or a financial expert -- instructs and evaluates participants through a Web site. Some, such as a program to teach computer skills to women re-entering the work force, also require participants to attend classes at a local college. The focus on technology is intentional -- a woman with computer skills can make 60 percent more money than a woman who's not tech savvy, Chun said.
