The global gender gap in technology is sadly very persistent. Women and girls are underrepresented in technology ownership, digital literacy, and STEM skills of all types. Hence, we should celebrate and promote every program that will empower and inspire young women from around the world to pursue careers in science and technology.

Awesome
I would really love to join this community because it is a community of inspirational women in Tech. Seeing that I’m just migrating to the tech space, I’m looking for opportunities to make the transition from nursing to data analysis/science easier with a community of like-minded individuals.
I’m still in the process of learning data analysis. I’m learning SQL, Excel, Phyton, and Tableau with a private tutor and using other online resources. I’ve also tried to reinforce my knowledge by taking courses on Udemy, Ustacky and 365 data science.
Iam looking forward to joining this noble tea3to acquire more skills and knowledge to be able to guide me on my work and interactions in field works,,as well as enable my work to be more sufficient working with girls and women… Kindly consider me…
