The Young ICT Women project is being launched by European associations and foundations. They also participated in the Sector Patronage and the International Plan Foundation. The objective of the project is to increase the number of young women and girls in the digital agenda.
This plan seeks to bring women closer to the European Information and Communication Technology sector in a vulnerable situation. The first meeting was held in Latvia and is already underway.
The project is being launched by the ICT ICT company in Latvia and ends in August 2021. Its purpose is to increase the technological capabilities and employability of young women in a weak state. The tasks of this project are to obtain awareness campaigns, personal advice on skills and agreements with renewed companies. Additionally, a new online tool will be developed to develop profile identification and training and work experience in the digital field.
