New partnership aims to encourage more girls to choose technology subjects
Technology subjects in Norway have faced a challenge with gender imbalance for many years. Figures show that fewer than one in three students in technological studies today are women. To change this, the organization Tekna has now entered into a partnership with Girl Tech Norway.
The purpose of the collaboration is to increase interest in science and technology among young girls. By offering more opportunities and inspiration, the organizations hope that more girls will consider a future career within these fields.
There is a great need for technological expertise in the Norwegian labor market in the years to come. By recruiting from the entire population, the sector ensures access to vital knowledge and new perspectives. This is important for both innovation and development in Norwegian business and industry.
The collaboration between Tekna and Girl Tech Norway will facilitate learning arenas where girls can explore technology in a safe and engaging way. The initiatives are aimed at breaking down barriers and showing that technology is an exciting choice for everyone, regardless of gender.
