Abstract:
We present a partnership model that is a three way win because it is beneficial for academics, industry and university students. The model has resulted in research grants and research publications therefore achieving the goals of academics. It has been beneficial for the university students by providing support networks and opportunities to mentor school students. It has also enabled female undergraduates to be mentored by professional women. Lastly the partnership is beneficial to professionals in the computing industry by providing them with strong links to universities and access to high quality graduate female students.
