@joostschuur Thanks for your comment! It's hard to find a good, short domain name nowadays. The idea was 'keep women in tech', but that would have been too long. :)
Hi! I'm the founder of KeepWomen.com. We help skilled women explore their opportunities in tech.
Over 40% of women leave tech mid-career. Our goal is to reduce the amount of women leaving tech and help companies increase the diversity of their workforce.
In addition Europe, amongst other countries, faces a shortage of over 800 000 IT workers by 2020. We need to retain skilled workers in tech.
Would love to hear your feedback! You can also email me at nina@userium.com. Thanks!
This is an interesting concept, but is it really solving the problem? Is the reason women are leaving the tech industry because of the lack of opportunities?
@sethlouey Thanks for your comment!
Based on the research we have done, many women leave tech due to e.g. working conditions (low salary, no advancement), work-life balance (too much travelling, commuting), or the company environment (cultural "fit").
Many women who we have talked to are looking for flexible working hours, personal development opportunities and workforce diversity. With KeepWomen.com we try to provide options and show e.g. which companies offer remote work, and how diverse are they.
