โNow is the time for women to get into tech careersโ, says tech leading lady
But women are high underrepresented in technology fields, with women holding only about 27% of those jobs. But, she said, now is the time for women to pursue digital careers and close the gap. โThe first gap that happens where we lose women in STEM careers happens around eight and nine years old. Thereโs education and training, certification, mentorship opportunities, early access to internships and job opportunities. As a Women+Tech, students will be assigned a mentor, have early access to internships and job opportunities, and more.
