We created WTFem as a tool to support women in and seeking to join the emergency management community. WTFem shares resources, data, and personal experiences in one spot and we link to other groups doing the work – mentoring, education, scholarships, etc. Quite simply, we spend a lot of time looking for this information so we thought to make it easier for others to find!
WTFem also offers Resume Support and is frequently asked to review resumes. A recurring theme is the need to better capture disaster response experience and the skills learned in the field. WTFem resume support connects people with emergency management experience to leaders in our field, including hiring managers. Reach out to us if interested in learning more.
We’ve compiled a list of articles relating to emergency management, public works, women in business, first responders, and waste management ranging from media pieces, reports, and academic research. If you have something interesting to add, please share with us!
Mentorships are a great for professional growth, clarifying career goals, and expanding your professional network. Here are several mentorship programs out there for women in the field.
Emergency Management programs at colleges and universities are expanding! Here is a list of all the EM programs at colleges and universities across the United States and Canada.
Engage with our LinkedIn group. Volunteer! Volunteers can review resumes, facilitate or speak at events, join the grants committee, be interviewed for the 10Q series and so much more. We invite organizations (public and private) to join us as a host and/or sponsor too. Reach out to learn more.
