it's all right, you are up to date after the break shift wanted when a start your career in tech. i think more news also on our website at www. dot. com and also on our social media kinds handle is dw news. i pop up on any s for me and the team here in berlin. thanks for watching. nothing against the top that extra. the prices got issues with a lot say what? the, the in charlotte, the currently move people them in the,

on the world wide and such a base in life on that bus. and so it does have committed to actually find out about regina stores, info migrants do you want a job with a real future? and a well paid for that, that then take might just be the field for you, have time to so on the lookout for smart recruits to feel lucrative roles. but the house of looking for women tech is 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 a good place to stop parson, javascript, or java, for example. what it might sound daunting, almost 30 percent of develop as a self taught by watching tutorials on youtube. for example, the degree in 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 a deep i'm in your has a few ideas. the 1st reason is the lack of role models. the minute we have very male dominated teams in the tech industry and yes, actually, 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 spies. it went as to the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech. and this prejudice starts in school, where boys are often presumed to be better in the technical field. and girls aren't

supported by the 3rd reason is 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 guy. 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 and the tech industry. we're only 5 percent of all c o's of female to this day, women on encourage to succeed in certain areas, especially at a young age. that was the case pa, palmilla. she 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 it anyway. i'm, unless you're a 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. still this, yeah. you went up to data using to say,

how wonderful it is to create with these computers either. so what 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 some of everything he said to me and said, daughter, these magazines are not for you by a technology is a man's thing. and they told him, my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had to do it. he said human through this, i feel really sad because they had the stream for many years. the mcdaniels, despite our 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 and 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,

who yeah. and then she'll be here for you, 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 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 employees. mother single in the policy and the 50 percent of the management at the metrics are women and women make up just over and 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 commune. that low he got. and if the once to level the playing field for everyone do that, but at the end, the trailblazer theirs 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 on the, on the gender gap in technology remains significant. but it's gradually narrowing. argentina leads and female participation with more than 40 percent of women in the tech workforce say that, but at the end of it, the we're trying to work with role models. and let me know that i, 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 mother. and we always have male role models for the month, but 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 thing, not a human one. the credit, the what was it like for you growing up? i hardly had any female role models, but today,

thanks to platforms like 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 founder of any tasks. it is particularly important in a country. what conservative generals bills dominate, women just have a very different cardio fox. they have a 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, but he does has

a team of 30 employees, many of whom are women. as someone who has cooled down to the digital platform does strongly believes that check 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 all or the tech phone does 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 tack, rug 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. i do not this, i was looking to connect with a lot of like 9 different please. i think this app has been extremely beneficial in that sense. i have made a lot of home, does

a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know, mean somebody walks of life so it has the no confidence will start definitely. so ab has been a great platform to make some professional networking. i've met some wonderful women and not 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. and that spiral effect. it's thoughtful, what $1500.00 women together today, 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 the track just about the tech industry is that many jobs can be done remotely. that office flexibility and independence in 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 whose bar is mostly known for its agriculture. that the optical internet connection here is stable and fast, not b, o ring 16th globally, and download speed. excess cost 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 euro is almost double 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 the the, the initial thought was just to have like exercise for my mind. it was

covered time. so we have 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 the store, it's to be useful and just a good solution for everyone. it needs to be created by people who are, who have a diverse experiences we've uh, initially wanted to work as

a user interface designer. but then she got a job and a different field. as a specialist for data visualization, she saw the advice from the rica tech girls, the ashlyn manta. what do i do? and she gave me really good advice. she said, visualization that's, that's design, right? that's not just they tell numbers and coding whatever that's design so you can actually combine if you like, of the mos poss also and the design poss. yeah. it's it. subtract it for the 1st time, extra weight in my life. a positive working environment, chris, it's arriving atmosphere for employee and employer women and the tech industry important. and the tech watkins benefit from diversity

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. the account. this reasons to go for a job in tech, especially for women, the opportunities of great, and it'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
