Women Working in the Technology Sector |
Why do less women work in technology?
About this Survey
This survey will be used as part of my study research project for my Careers Labour Market module to determine why there are less women working in technology and why women are being put off entering this sector. The increase in demand for technology usage and has been particularly prevalent during the Covid 19 pandemic which opens more work opportunities in this sector.
From the data gathered along with other research I will look at what would be required to encourage more women into technology roles, and what can organisations look to implement to achieve this. The labour market data collated will be useful to the practice of a career development professional when assisting an individual considering entering this particular sector of work.
The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Ideally you should complete if a women working in this sector or currently studying towards entering the technology sector.
