Tapping the talents of women for richer innovations
Alarming statistics of 2018:
- Girls do science, just not computer science. Women earn 57% of all undergraduate degrees, but make up only 18% of all computer science related degrees
- The percentage of women working in IT companies is around 30%. But, they make up only 15.6% of the technical roles that influence product development
Gender diversity matters. It helps to…
- close the gender wage gap
- incorporate new ideas for product innovation
- serve an increasingly diverse customer base
- nurture inclusivity to improve workplace culture and performance
- improve a company’s bottom-line
TapTheTalent (TTT) is committed to providing young girls with early technology and computing education and women the ongoing inspiration, mentoring, and opportunities to enable them to move up in technical and leadership roles or change careers to enter IT.
We partner with Information Technology (IT) companies to help them attract, develop, and retain female talent to fill in the dearth of engineering skills and improve gender diversity, thereby enriching product innovation and improving business performance.
