and we will end it, their shift is up next to looking at which areas of tech or actively recruiting women and how some candidates or earning their qualifications from youtube videos. don't forget there's more news and um website dw dot com, the categories are thoughts, say what the name is, the calls back saved loud. thank you so much for joining in.
12:16 pm
welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud means would it be nosy bay like good everyone to king, to check out the award winning called com. so hold back the, do you want a job with a real future and then well, pay for that. then tech might just be the field for you had time to so on the lookout for smart recruits to fill lucrative roles. but the house of looking for women tech has still a male dominated field. after all, we're going to show you 3 women, which how does that status quote and one coming up today. but 1st, let's say you want to get your foot in the door. what skills might you need right now? it's all about web software and say to base development as well as operations. so learning a programming language is
12:17 pm
a good place to stop pilot and chava script or java, for example. what if might sound daunting? almost 30 percent of the developers a self taught by watching tutorials on youtube, for example, a degree and computer science content, but it's no longer a must. internationally only $1.00 and $5.00 companies insist upon a college degree. so what's stopping women from guessing involved? entrepreneur and consultants a deep, i'm in your has a few ideas the 1st reason is the lack of role models them and we have very male dominated teams in the tech industry. and as a woman, it's not very attractive to see. i might be the only woman there, so i think it's called the spice. what is this? the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech. this prejudiced starts and school where boys are often presumed to be better in the technical field and girls aren't supported by the 3rd reason is
12:18 pm
that we on the employer. so i need to offer more flexible working conditions. if we solve this will attract more women to the sector by the government and did you ever think the job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough female role models in that position? this is a common theme in the tech industry. we're only 5 percent of all c o, a female to this day, women on encourage to succeed in certain areas, especially at a young age. that was the case pop. i mean, actually order from argentina. her father didn't want her to be involved with computers as a child. it's not something for bells he would say. but she did this anyway. unless you are is where she always wanted to be working in tech. a father and visit her as an accountant for the family business. but h to 9. pamela found some old computer magazines that our father kept and began to study them. to this yeah, you one, okay. they are using to say, how wonder,
12:19 pm
so it is to create with these computers that you say put my child's mind understood in the system. but, and i would say i want to do this move up. i see you when. so i always read the magazines and my dad noticed this is have everything he said to me. and so daughter, these magazines are not for you by technology is a man's thing. and bill and my dad was the one giving orders and everyone had to do it. he said human through this i felt really sad because they had the stream for many years the most daniels, despite our fathers refusal her mother see quickly enrolled her and university. so she could study computer science, the journey was not easy. as a few years later, the family business went bankrupt and her father left jo, music gotta let me find me in the i took responsibility for my family, which was my mother in my sister's here in my 2 brothers who were studying in cordova. and so i had to drop out of college in order to work the way that i started working in the i t department of the energy company and who,
12:20 pm
who we and that she the whole force for 10 years. pamela worked there until she reconnected with andre is a former school late and also an i t professional with whom she entered a relationship and later married pamela completed her studies together with andres. they started new be metrics. a company that provides e commerce solutions supported by artificial intelligence. today, 10 years later, the company has a presence in 17 left in american countries over 9000 customers. nearly $100.00 employees must have seen glenda boards in the 50 percent of the management. it would be metrics or women develop and women make up just over and 45 percent throughout the company. the single percent the move in the beginning. we pushed it a bit and it gave us excellent results. vocal interview, extending the then it became 2nd nature. the come on that know he got and if the once your level, the playing field for everyone, you up at the end, the trailblazers leave their market, it is the sort of becomes
12:21 pm
a natural cycle soon put on. that's a subject them with the no secret and that the, all the gender gap and technology remains significant. but it is gradually narrowing. argentina leads and female participation with more than 40 percent of women in the tech workforce. so that, that at the end of it, the, we're trying to work with role models. and let me know that on. if i ask you see you as an innovator in technology and anyone, you might say steve jobs or mark sucker burke, the jobs or media mux, who can embed simply at the name of one moment. we always have male role models. none of them are, we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately. hang on east, and we must work on that. and this can be of them that we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women. they know that he and the credit the what was it like for you growing up? i hardly had any female role models, but today,
12:22 pm
thanks to platform sec linked and or thing. i can easily network with other women and tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry as life social networks by women for women in india as a lead dot club is such a network for women only for co fonda right, they need. thus, it is particularly important in the country. what conservative generals bills dominate, women just have a way, defend your boss. they have a very different uh, point of view. they have a very different opinion. they have a very different, you know, i think maybe even the vision we need and all those clubs, we need women to support each other. we need women to back each other up before the 2020 launch of lead club. there were hardly any professional networks for women in india. the release was a huge success. this way women can network online, get further training or take part in mentoring programs. today, rug uni does, has a team of 30 employees,
12:23 pm
many of whom are women. as someone who has cooled down to the digital platform does strongly believes that tech and play a big role for women's progress. but she, as it is still majorly a boys club, there seems to be a massive, massive gap killed in the market. like even if i have to go to school or the tech phone does meet up, i will be unfortunately, one of the very few women in the room. we need to invest a lot more in women in tech. rog, you need believes the app has become the medium to bring women together at a leave dot club event in delhi. hundreds of women who met online are meeting up to network professionally. not this i was looking to connect with a lot of my mind. i think this app has been extremely beneficial in that sense. i have made a nora phone, does a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed,
12:24 pm
or does i not people, you know, mean somebody walks of life. so it has the nose on produce will start definitely. so ab has been a great platform to make some professional networking. i've missed one of them in a non about great professions, which i never knew existed. for many women delete club has become an important instrument for finding allies in their professional life. the best spiral effect, it's thoughtful, was $1500.00 women together, the data networking and support a one thing true equality in terms of pay is another. even in 2023 women and the tech sector, us still earning an average of 10 percent less than men. the agenda pick up is slowly shrinking. but why women get less money for the same work as men is beyond me. what's attractive about the tech industry is that many jobs can be done remotely. that office flexibility and independence and contrast to many of the
12:25 pm
sectors the who's the owner of a small town, 2 hours from lucky is capital rica. not exactly a tech industry hub whose bar is mostly known for its agriculture. but the optical internet connection here is stable and fast. not the or ring 16th globally and download speed. excess costs about 17 year rose a month. lever, colinas and laura has made a career in tech. she works as a data analyst and platform developer for a european car manufactured lever works from home, 40 hours a week with a monthly pay of around $2900.00 euros, almost doubled the national average. all she needs for her work is a laptop for her design work. she uses power b. i. power automates power pages and kind of got the initial thought was just to have like exercise from my mind. it was covered time, so it had
12:26 pm
a lot of free time. and yeah, i thought if nowadays like kids get taught coding so i can probably do it. leave a tell nino learned how to code with re good ted girls and n g o that offers 3 classes. busy busy busy we started off in the community of women in tech and focusing mostly on women and girls. in the past couple of years we've grown into community that is supporting inclusion and diversity in tech. it's about diversity. so um, every thing that we create a sort it's to be useful and um, just a good solution for everyone in this to be created by people who are, who have diverse experiences we've uh, initially wanted to work as a user interface designer. but then she got a job in a different field. as

12:28 pm
a lot in the future. we're going to see there are many studies that show diversity and teams leads to better results. doctors and women have been under represented in technology for a long time to see if we see it in the development of a i, which is often programmed by men. so there's often a very male view of these technological advances, and if women participate more, the product will be much better in the vast majority of cases because of the different perspectives they bring to the accounts. this reasons to go for a job in tech, especially for women, the opportunities of great, and that's never too late to get stuff is. what are your experiences in the field? do you feel inspired to dive into the tech world? that is not what you think, and we'll see you next time the he can do anything from action, full size,
