ICT and Computer Empowerment training for women in Abuja Nigeria
Why this ICT and Computer Empowerment training for women in Abuja Nigeria
…Our visit to many IT, ICT firms and other companies using Computers in Nigeria shows that it is dominated by men, just few ladies are found in this area of information and communication technology ICT
Even in the interviews we conduct for companies, ladies find it difficult to apply for core IT jobs like website design, Computer programming, 3D modeling and Animation, Graphics etc
In the last recruitment we did, Secretary /Admin officer position received the highest application totaling 1207 .
Out this number, over 85% were women, while in some core IT /ICT positions, no woman applied
The above led to the question :-What can be done to attract more girls and women into studying IT
Numerous structural factors can limit whether women use ICTs and how they use them,
Such as social barriers that mean women may not have the literacy skills they need,
material barriers that mean they may not have the money to learn or may not have control over their own or household finances and sometimes, some families prefer to spend more money on the male child education than the female child and
psychological barriers that may mean women believe they should not or are unable to learn digital ICT and computer skills.
It is not just enough to enroll girls and women in education and training programs; it is equally important that they receive quality education, in order to ensure appropriate learning outcomes.
The application of ICT in learning enables girls and women to have equal quality education, which leads to personal development, allowing them to manage their lives. There is the need to instill confidence among women so that they can be as good as men in both using and improving technology.
Bridging the gender gap
The easiest way to solve the technology gender gap is by designing programmes that target girls
Closing the usage gap between girls and boys is important for the promotion of the information society. As interactions between governments and society continue to rely more on information and communication technologies ICT, it becomes crucial that the voices of women and girls are represented in the digital world.
These gave birth to our ICT and Computer Empowerment training for women in Abuja Nigeria
