More Than Two Million Women Rock-IT
NORTHAMPTON, MA | ACCESSWIRE | September 23, 2022 | Cisco Systems Inc. In the 25 years since it was founded, inclusiveness has been at the core of Cisco Networking Academy. Networking Academy''s global reach is amazing, with students in 190 countries and nearly 12 thousand academies offering over 30 courses in up to 27 languages. But making the program available is only half the challenge: making the demand inclusive is another matter. This is why, in 2014, we introduced the Women Rock-IT initiative. The World Economic Forum predicts that it will take another 136 years to close the global gender gap, this number is greatly impacted by the outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic. The data differs by country, but women globally are generally underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education and employment. Deloitte Global found that large global technology firms will reach female representation in their workforces of nearly 33 percent in 2022, up slightly more than 2 percentage points from 2019.
