Registered IT Apprenticeships for Women
The tech industry is booming… However, the demand for skilled IT professionals is on the rise and the industry still faces significant talent shortage and gender disparities. The World Bank reports that women make up less than 40% of the global workforce. This severe lack of female diversity is even more pronounced in the tech industry, where women make up just 28% of the workforce. This gender imbalance not only limits the potential of women but also hinders the overall growth and success of the TECH industry.
Addressing the female TECH talent shortage
To help bridge the talent and the gender gap, Vijay Computer Academy has compiled a new program dedicated to women, which offers solutions for immediate impact for employers through skills-based hiring and earn-and-learn apprenticeship models. Registered Apprenticeships are one solution employers should consider, as these programs support the recruitment and retention of women and help create more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and accessible workplaces. Through this program, we will provide eligible women with the necessary technical skills, mentorship, paid on job training, networking opportunities and job search assistance. And that’s where you come in.
