From the Chronicle Herald:
鈥楾eaching Tech to Women,鈥 the latest part in the 鈥楪irls Talk Tech鈥 series put on by the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Women in Technology Society illustrated a serious need for more women in the technology sector.
Emily Boucher, Executive Director of CanWIT (Canadian Women in Technology) was one of the speakers at the event. She said the tech sector needs to do a better job of bringing more women into the fold.

Boucher said the barriers that currently prevent more women from considering tech as a career include: a lack of mentorship and role models, difficult work-life balance and few supportive environments within the workplace.
