A Fireside Chat in Celebration of International Women’s Day
In celebration of International Women’s Day, The Burnie Group is hosting a fireside chat in partnership with Bell on empowering women in the technology and automation industry.
The theme for International Women’s Day 2021 is #ChoosetoChallenge. Though the technology and automation industry has come a long way in gender equality, there remains a gender gap three times larger than that in other industries. The World Economic Forum estimates that more than 70% of professionals with artificial intelligence (AI) skills are men.
From challenge comes change, so let’s choose to challenge the gender gap in the technology and automation industry.
Key Topics
- Why it is important for organizations to promote opportunities for women in automation throughout the career cycle.
- How women in tech and automation can develop a long-term career plan.
- Advice for young women who are considering a career in Automation.
- How young women can find mentors, and how we encourage women to dream bigger.
