Assistance program: Erasmus+
Project description
For many years, women have been underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) jobs. Although digital economy offers opportunities for female empowerment and more equal participation in the labour market, there is still a significant gender divide when it comes to female working in STEM that require advance digital skills (She Figures 2021, EC).
The FUTURE WOMEN project will raise awareness for the challenges and opportunities of the digital economy and barriers constraining women’s digital empowerment, to support female students to pursuit careers linked to digital economy jobs and self-employment, particularly in STEM fields of engineering and ICT. The project will also equip career counsellors to better support them.
