Women in Engineering and Technology
Getting involved in IT & Cybersecurity can be a life changing experience. It provides a wonderful opportunity for women to empower themselves through tackling new challenges, gaining essential work skills, participating in creative problem solving, and joining in leadership opportunities. The unique perspective women can contribute to technical fields is needed, and is in high demand by both employers and educators.
