COLLAGE YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Transtech Engineers has a strong belief and commitment to help pave the way for women and our youth, championing them to pursue higher education and a career in STEM related fields – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We are proud partners and supporters of ELLAS and their mission to empower young women in the community to advocate for themselves and others while making positive life choices. At Transtech we have been heavily involved in various community organizations including ELLAS and events to educate and inspire women, particularly youth, in engineering. Community Service is part of who we are, we regularly host workshops, participate in STEM Booths, conferences, and recently founded the Transtech Engineers Scholarship Fund at Cal Poly Pomona. Our scholarship program is for their Civil Engineering Program and awards 5 students $3,000 annually towards their tuition based on their GPA and standing in the program.  We believe that STEM education is vital to help bridge the ethnic and gender gaps sometimes found in the math and science fields. At Transtech, we work hard to encourage and increase the roles of women and minorities in STEM-related fields. It is our honor to be one of the partner Engineering firms in the ELLAS organization and together we look forward to continuing to expand their mission for years to come.
