International Girls in ICT Day

April 27, 2023

On Girls in ICT Day – marked annually on the fourth Thursday in April – the United Nations highlights the need to promote technology career opportunities for girls and women in the world’s fastest growing sector.

It is estimated that there is a skills shortfall of over two million jobs in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector within the next five years.  Young women who have the opportunity to learn coding, applications development and computer science will not only be able to pursue a successful career in this sector, but these skills will become a strong advantage for students in just about any other field they might choose to pursue.
