WIT4Girls: growing girls in technology careers

There's a growing demand for skilled professionals in technology, but there's also a shortage of qualified candidates to fill these roles. By encouraging girls to pursue careers in tech from a young age, we can help bridge this skills gap and ensure that the workforce of the future is equipped to meet the demands of the digital age. Providing girls with access to positive mentorships and training in technology not only prepares them for lucrative and fulfilling careers, but also strengthens the overall competitiveness of our economy.
