Career Guidance CHICAGO, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- American
InterContinental University (AIU), which offers flexible and
accessible education options for adults, and Women Employed, a
leading national advocacy organization for women's economic
advancement, today launched WomenAchieve.org, a new online resource
for women seeking to advance their education and career options and
improve the lives of their families. The website, designed as a
support network and a "go-to" resource, provides information about
higher education, careers, work-life balance, child care, education
finances and many other topics. It is also a networking site that
connects women with others facing similar issues. "In today's tough
job market, many women are heading back to school for additional
education," said Stephen Tober, AIU's interim chief executive
officer. "The site, WomenAchieve.org, offers a supportive
environment for women as well as information and resources needed
to help make their transition easier." The site includes innovative
tools and resources, including: -- discussion forums about issues
ranging from parenting and education to employment and family
finances. -- blog posts by regular contributors including industry
professionals and women who have overcome significant obstacles to
achieve success. -- resource lists and other tools to help women
identify the education programs or career paths that might be best
for them, and information about how to pursue those dreams. In
addition, accomplished women are profiled in a "Spotlight on
Success" feature. For example, an interview with former U.S.
Senator and Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun (D., Ill.) is currently
highlighted. Another feature, "Inspiring Women," showcases the
stories of everyday women who have triumphed over substantial odds
to achieve success. "We know that education is a proven strategy
for raising women's wages, but that working women who are raising
families need unique supports to succeed in college," said Anne
Ladky, executive director of Women Employed. "WomenAchieve.org
creates a guide and forum to help women find the resources they
need to advance through education." About American InterContinental
