We need to see more women in technology. And action speaks louder than words. Here's what you can do now.
Women currently hold only 26.7% of tech-related jobs - and the percentage of women in all tech-related careers has actually decreased over the last 2 years.
More than 50% of women in tech report gender inequality, discrimination, or sexual harassment in male-dominated environments.
We caught up with Anna and Lara-Michelle from Code First Girls - an organization that has taught 100,000 women to code to date, for free.
Anna Brailsford is both CEO and a board member at the Institute of Coding. Before joining Code First Girls, she was the CEO and co-founder of Founders Factory incubated EdTech startup Frisbee, and previously the Commercial Director of Lynda.com and LinkedIn. When LinkedIn acquired Lynda for $1.5 Billion in April 2015, she became part of the fourth-largest acquisition in social media history, contributing to the creation of LinkedIn Learning.
Lara-Michelle Noack is a recent graduate from Code First Girls, working in her first role in Tech as a Could Infrastructure Engineer for Capital One. She is now using her voice to encourage others on her Instagram, Regular Coder Girl. Seeing more women in Technology is a key part of our mission here at Salt, and is also a key goal for many of our clients. We are committed to sourcing and supporting incredible female talent around the globe and helping them find their perfect role within an industry that needs more female representation and diversity as a whole.
