Prize-Winning Program
Ford of Germany's Fit Project: Women in Technical Careers is designed to encourage young women to study engineering. This initiative won first prize in the team category of the European Chairman's Leadership Award for Diversity.
Getting More Women Involved
Through the Fit Project initiative, more than 2,700 women participated in 105 events and projects, sustained by an ongoing support network of 150 Ford employees. The results so far have been encouraging: since the initiative began in 1999, the percentage of young women in technical work experiences has increased from 5 to 32 percent.
