Helping More Women To Become Tech Pioneers

Tech Training For Women

As I am always on the lookout for topics that are of interest to women, be it professional training or any other field, this post appeared to be of particular interest.

It has long been known that women are not into technical training as much as men but with a serious shortage of technical skills, it could be something women could consider doing.  

With this skills shortage come advantages for those who do train to get technical skills.

  The link above will reveal the full story .......................

At a time when the business world faces chronic shortages of tech skills, there must be a greater emphasis on helping young women adopt careers in technology.

History is overflowing with the names of men who have revolutionized computing and information technology: Babbage, Turing, Jobs, Wozniak, Gates, Hewlett, Packard and Berners-Lee, to name just a few. What is often missing is an acknowledgement of women who have contributed to the advancement of tech.
Since March is Women's History Month, it's a good time to mention two women who finally received the attention they deserve last November: Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper.

How The Global Fund For Women Technology Can Help Empower Women Worldwide

Empowering Women

Reading the above article I was struck by the scheme to empower women.  It is always so good to learn about these organisations that give opportunities to better the lives of women who would otherwise struggle to make a living.



Having spent the last six years of my career at eBay, in the heart of Silicon Valley, I’ve seen firsthand how digital technologies can have a strong impact on people in the farthest corners of the world.
