Schools around the U.S. muddling through challenging economic times are trying to make do with less, said Mr. Musso, who called Blind Brook's recruitmentprogram an "interesting concept" to raise additional money.
Its report " Women at the Wheel" found 56% of the women said their companies did not have an active recruitmentprogram targeting women, and none thought the school system encouraged girls to pursue careers in the industry.
The competitive teacher program has modeled its recruitment process after top consulting firms, says University of Pennsylvania career officer Patricia Russo, rejecting many more applicants than it takes despite the low pay.
