Informatics can also be a good prospect for women

Cisco is open to the technology industry for open students and graduates. The information and communication technology (ICT) sector has grown significantly worldwide in recent decades, but has not been gender balanced. The presence of women in the industry, especially in terms of senior positions, is still significantly lower than that of men, so it can be said that the ICT sector is still a male-dominated field today. In OECD countries, less than 20 percent of IT professionals are women, and the proportion of female executives in Fortune 500 companies is only 3%. The aim of the international "Girls in ICT Day" initiative is therefore to make the ever-evolving and increasingly powerful world of information and communication technologies, far beyond IT, attractive to girls and young women. . According to IDC, by 2015, about 90 percent of jobs will require IT and technology skills, and we can even witness the birth of many professions that don’t even exist today. This is why it is important to arouse interest in modern technologies. Cisco has participated in the international event every time since the launch of ‘Girls in ICT Day’ three years ago.
