Moniepoint Inc. is boosting its Women in Tech programme by increasing internship roles from 10 to 15, reflecting an ongoing commitment to equalising gender representation in the tech field. This initiative offers opportunities across various tech domains, including cloud engineering and data engineering, aiming to provide aspiring women technologists with a robust professional foundation.
Dubbed the Dream 15, this six-month internship offers direct mentorship, competitive wages, and potential full-time opportunities. This aligns with recent statistics showing women are underrepresented in Nigeria’s tech industry, which makes such initiatives crucial. The programme is crucial for enhancing gender diversity and empowering women to thrive in technology careers.
Key Takeaways:
- Moniepoint’s internship supports gender diversity with new roles in tech.
- Women in Tech offers mentorship and potential job opportunities.
- Despite being half the population, women hold only 25% of tech jobs in Nigeria.
This initiative by Moniepoint Inc. is a significant step towards rectifying gender imbalances in the sector and holds the potential to inspire similar actions in other regions. For more information, check the original source.
