ask mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw, may feel mine's or the do you want a job with a real future and a well paid for. and if that, then tech might just be the field for you, have time to so on the lookout for smart recruits to field lucrative roles. but how is that looking for women? tech has still a male dominated field. after all, we're going to show you 3 women, which how does that states us 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 a good place to stop piping javascript or java, for example. what it 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 the college degree. so what's stopping women from guessing involved? entrepreneur and consultants? adieva manual 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, i felt decided what is the the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech. this prejudiced starts in school, where boys are often presumed to be better in the technical field. and girls aren't
8:18 am
supported by the 3rd reason is that we own 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. good. did you ever things up and job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough fi in a 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 for 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. i began to study them, show this, yeah. you one ok. they add
8:19 am
a user to say how wonderful it is to create with these computers. either separate my child's mind understood. and those assume but then i would say i want to do this move up. i say you went so i always read the magazines and my dad noticed this, the sound of everything he said to me and said, daughter, these magazines are not for you by technology is a man's thing. and they still, and my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had to do it. he said human 3 this, i don't really sad because they have the stream for many years seem of sonia's despite their father's refusal, her mother secretly 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 joe music. gotta let me find me in. yeah, 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 a bit. i started working in the i t department of the energy company and who,
8:20 am
who he and she'll be hopefully for 10 years coming to work 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 the 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 1711 american countries, over 9000 customers, nearly 100 employees. mother single in the policy and the 50 percent of the management at it'd be metrics are women develop and women make up just over the 45 percent throughout the company. the single percent of the move in the beginning. we pushed it a bit and it gave us excellent results, vocal interview, extending the van and became 2nd nature. the come on that know he got and if the once your level, the playing field for everyone do that. but at the end,
8:21 am
the trailblazers leave their market, it is the sort of becomes a natural cycle soon put on the 8th of jack, i'm with the no secret. and then the ginger 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. say that that then do it the we are trying to work with role models. and let me know that on. if i ask you see you as an innovator in technology, and then you might say, steve jobs or mark sucker burke, the jobs or media mux, who can bed seemed at the nimble on more than we always have male role models. and i'm nothing like that. we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately and east, and we must work on that. and it's going to be of them that we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women. they not a human one, the credit, the. what was it like for you growing up? i hardly had any female role models, but today,
8:22 am
thanks to platform 2nd think and or thing. i can easily network with other women in tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry as last social networks by women for women in india as a lead golf club is such a network for women only for co fonda, right? the task, it is particularly important in the country. what conservative generals bills dominate, women just have a very different cardio box. they have a very different uh, point of view. they have a different, a bring in. they have a very different, you know, i think maybe even though 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
8:23 am
a team of 30 employees, many of whom are women. as someone who is co founded, a digital platform does strongly believes that check and play a big role for women's progress. but she, as it is majorly of boys club, there seems to be a massive, massive gap killed in the market. like even if i have to go to all effects, phone doors need help. i will be unfortunately, one of the very few women in the room. we need to invest a lot more in women in dec, rug you need believes the app has become the medium to bring women together at a leap dot club event in delhi. hundreds of women who met online are meeting up to network professionally. i do not this, i was looking to connect with a lot of like minded me please. i see you this app has been extremely beneficial in that sense. i have made an oral phone, does
8:24 am
a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know, mean from all walks of life. so it has to be no confidence booster. definitely used to have had been a great platforms who makes them professional networking. i've missed one of them in of professions which i never knew existed. for many women delete club has become an important instrument for finding allies in their professional life. and best far effect. it's thoughtful, what $1500.00 women together today, networking and support. 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 sectors.

the who's the owner of the small town, 2 hours from lithuania, as capital rica, not exactly a tech industry hub, who's bar is mostly known for its agriculture. but the optimal internet connection here is stable and fast. not the or ring 16th globally and download speed. excess cost about 17 year rose a month lever, colleena from whose barbara 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 automate power pages and kind of the kind of the initial thought was just to have like exercise. so in my mind it was covered time, so it would have
8:26 am
a lot of free time. and yeah, so if nowadays like kids get taught coding so i can probably do it, leave a tell me know, 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 intact 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 every thing that we create for it's to be useful and 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

8:28 am
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. the thing that we see it in the development of a i which is often programmed by man. 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 . 2 2 2 is so much good patience. 2 and she
