    Center for Women and Work is a part of Rutgers School of Management and Labor relations and part of the Institute for Womens Leadership (IWL). Founded in 1993 by Proffessor Sue Cobble, the Center for Women and Work was created to study public policies, do research, and provide education to women. Particularly interesting about this website is its far reaching goals to help low-income working women and to extend it's efforts to help proffessional women such as lawyers and others in the corporate atmosphere deal with issues of obtaining and retaining employment. Also, helping proffessional women achieve and retain effectiveness in their roles as leaders, The Center for Women and Work is a company which should be commended for their efforts of addressing the needs of women. The center consist of two workforce development programs, one which aids the state, county and local governments of New jersey with implementing technology based programs, such as, online learning, for non-college grads. The second program is developing web applications that seek to teach literacy and work readiness skills. The center also offers a nationally-recognized program that provides research on gender equity and career development. Finally, the center does much research into the laws that working families need to balance their work and home lives. These laws could include paid time off, and flexible schedules. The intended audience for this website is very broad, although it seems to be geared towards the needs of working women. The website is assessible to the general public and can be intended for companies, and politicians with a desire to increase the effectiveness of women in the workplace. The website also ask the general public as well as businesses for support and list information needed to make donations to keep the company thriving. This website is definately credible as it stems from its connection with Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations in

    So the post cut off my responses, but here goes again....... As to the credibility of the center, it is associated with Rutgers a college, and all of the previous founders are former or current proffessors at the school. Also, the founders hold doctorates degrees in their field. The center partners with leglislators, business and other individuals to provide the support needed for working women, as well as, to train and educate women with the skills needed to enter the workforce. The website ties directly to the course work we have learned throughout this semester. The center gives special attention to all the issues that seek to suppress women in their careers. They educate those who need help entering the work force to provide for their families, as well as, train and educate those women in the proffessional arena on how to be effective leaders and managers in their field. All to often women face gender bias at work. This bias can conflict with the already existent constraints women may face in their home life. The center seeks to do research on how to fix these areas and the research is done by individuals certified in the field. Many of the issues discussed on this website are directly connected to issues of work based strain which occurs all too often in the workforce. This website is definately incredible.

    Also, this website, is biased towards the positive interactions of women in the workforce. The website is specifically designed to assess the needs of women on a ground roots level by providing education and training. Also, by being involved in research and politics and trying to develop research that will influence legislation the benefits women in the workforce.

    I thought the website was very informational and easy to navigate. I did a review on the national organization of women and had no idea it even existed. Seeing this site and all they do for women as well is truly amazing. The history part of Center for Women and Work really caught my attention. It said one of their main goals is to promote how and why women lead, and prepare women of all ages to lead effectively. Props to this website and a very good review!
