Mobilizing to help women return to work.
Grant a Fellowship, Grant a Future
At the start of 2021, about 275,000 women have left the workforce.
Women are overrepresented in industries at high risk of layoffs and are the first ones to be reflexively laid off. In December 2020 alone, the U.S. economy lost over 140,000 jobs, with women accounting for 100% of jobs lost.
The caregiving burden stereotypically falls on women: after the closure of schools and daycares, many mothers found themselves juggling work and childcare responsibilities.
Even in the post-pandemic world, the recovery is predicted to be more painful for women due to the potential industry or occupation shifts, they may risk losing access to their employment networks and will need to undergo new training.
To put it simply, the future of women in the workplace is at great risk.
So, we're mobilizing.
Hear from EllevateHER Fellows
More than ever, having connections and support is essential for us to innovate and meet the demands of a changing world. I hope to receive EllevateHER Forward fellowship to connect with other individuals who are making real change. I hope to use the fellowship opportunities to advocate my long-standing mission of reducing the stigma of mental health within the entrepreneur and small business community and provide skills and resources for those who need it.
- EllevateHER Fellow, 2020
I'm a first-generation immigrant who was fortunate enough to complete a B.S. Chemical Engineering... At times, I felt I couldn’t make it because I lacked basic necessities, including food. Ten years and three layoffs later (the most recent due to Covid-19), I was in the process of taking a course that would launch my engineering career. I'm devastated but determined not to allow this to stop my development, continue my career, and obtain financial advancement.
- EllevateHER Fellow, 2020
I got laid off from a great job recently. Being a woman over 50, I believe women like me still have much to offer. With that in mind, I want to launch an initiative to help professional women over 50 years old to secure fulfilling opportunities and believe a fellowship like EllevateHER Forward would make this initiative possible through an extensive network and personal/professional development opportunities.
