A job guaranteed for every woman passionate in technology

Every women interested, eager and passionate in technology should have the opportunity to prove it.

Across the technology sector, there is a major disparity between men and women. While 57% of occupations in the workforce are held by women, in computing occupations that figure is only 25%. This disparity is present at the college level as well. In 2010, although 57% of undergraduate degree recipients were female, but only 14% of them received computer science degrees at major research universities. Incredibly, this number has actually fallen in the recent years.

This disparity hurts the technology companies themselves. Research shows that women's choices impact up to 85% of purchasing decisions. By some analyses, they account for $4.3 trillion of the total U.S. consumer spending of $5.9 trillion, making women the largest single economic force not just in United States, but in the World.

The tech industry pays an annual wage of $93,800 which is 98% more than the average private sector wage. There are expected to be 1.4 million job openings for computer specialists by 2020. One would hope that women would be eligible for more than 25% of these future high-paying job openings.

Let's start by looking at some numbers

Clearly we have a numbers problem, that as Kristine Snow President of Cisco Systems Capital describes as, "a situation that does not optimize a diversity of ideas, innovation and ultimately a business's bottom line." Currently, women make up to only 10% of the engineering discipline when it comes to the top 500 companies. 

90% of schools still don't teach computer science

With the current technology trend, 9 out of 10 schools still don't offer Computer Science courses. Even when they do, they are not anywhere close to preparing students for the real industry challenges. With the competition today, it gets harder and harder to crack the technical interview and stand out among all the other qualified candidates.
