Women STILL Face Barriers in Tech Careers, but How Do They Overcome Them?
‘Women in Cybersecurity’ Expert and Higher Ed Professional Discuss the
Challenges of Closing the Representation Gap
International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the accomplishments and unique gifts of women around the world. And while women have gained a lot of ground over time, they are still severely underrepresented in the workplace – specifically when it comes to the technology sector. Though they make up half of the workforce, women hold only 28% of the jobs in tech. In the more specialized and fast- growing area of cybersecurity, that number drops to just 26%.
CyberSeek reports that there are more than 570,000 open positions in the US alone – a 35% jump over last year. Additionally, another 3.4 million positions remain unfilled around the world. With so many opportunities available, why do women still hold such a small share of the industry?
Let's Learn more together from:
Lynn Dohm, Executive Director of Women in Cybersecurity, is passionate about advancing women’s involvement in this rapidly growing field. Her organization is committed to building a robust, diverse workforce. As an executive director with a unique perspective, Lynn is acutely aware of and prepared to discuss the barriers facing women in cybersecurity – from challenges in upskilling opportunities to the overwhelming educational and certification hurdles.
Scarlett Howery, Vice President of Public Workforce Solutions for DeVry University, is also committed to the advancement of women in tech. As a higher education professional, Scarlett’s focus is on helping learners understand their options and resources, including DeVry’s innovative Women+Tech Scholars Program and the Future Cyber Defenders Program – both of which address some of the educational barriers facing women today.
