Women Who Code is helping to break that ceiling by helping female engineers get support to dive deeper in their careers. The Women Who Code community – which includes over 50,000 members over 50 countries – help “female engineers achieve professional success, while inspiring them to be and become role models and heroes in the industry”, according to The Macro. And though other programs with similar foci have made their way to the tech community spotlight, Women Who Code push for a wider agenda: they want to see women thriving in multiple levels and spaces within tech – from entry-level positions to hiring managers and CEOs. Pushing for this kind of representation aids in ensuring the longevity of women that do enter the tech field. Here’s what Women Who Code have shared about future plans for the company: As gender inequality continues to permeate throughout the industry as a persistent problem, it’s paramount that we reexamine the solutions that are in place to ensure the longevity of the women that enter the tech industry. Whether that means seeking qualified candidates from outside fields, to reshaping company policies from the inside out, these various solutions will help us to come together and ensure that diversity and inclusion remain at the forefront of our goals as tech continues to expand and grow.
