Women and Tech Scholarship
As industries focused on technology continue to grow, there is still a significant gap for women looking to enter these careers. Digital Workshop Center is now offering exciting new opportunities for women in technology and is proud to now bring the “Women and Tech Scholarship” to the public with $50,000 of tuition funding available.
According to Eurostat, “just 17% of the people working in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) roles across Europe are female – and only 5% of leadership positions in the technology industry are held by women.” With research showing that a more diverse team performs better and are more innovative, leaders are recognizing that a diverse office, led by more women than ever before, is good for business.
The tech industry continues to reinvent itself as we all navigate a new definition of work, and more women in leadership positions is the goal for many to represent the future.
