Lady Geek

The skill shortage in the ICT sector has for some time been used to argue that more women should join the sector. The European Commission decided to counteract this skill shortage through encouraging young women to participate in so-called shadowing days. These shadowing days give young women an insight into what careers in ICT could look like through spending a day with a woman working in ICTs. The website claims this is “strictly for geeks!”. In fact, it seems to be strictly for Ladygeeks!
