At Exa we aim to support and promote women\u2019s equality throughout our business and encourage more women to get into the tech sector.<\/p><p>Did you know that only 3% of women say a career in technology is their first choice? We continuously develop new activities which will contribute to raise awareness of various roles available in tech. By raising awareness we hope that more women will consider roles which are traditionally occupied by men.<\/p><p>Working with organisations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aheadpartnership.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahead Partnership<\/a> and through our <a href=\"https:\/\/exa.net.uk\/about-us\/social-values\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exa Foundation<\/a>, we have promoted careers in tech throughout the years to younger people, by involving them in digital skills activities. Last year, Alan O\u2019Donohoe, Specialist Leader in Education at our Exa Foundation, hosted a guest panel with inspirational women from the tech industry to discuss topics relating to women in computing. Challenges and difficulties faced by women in tech are also discussed along with suggestions of what we can do to educate young people about the roles available in the industry.<\/p><p>Watch here to find out more:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c05115 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"1c05115\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=Mbv6wKWPIIM&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28f7d0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28f7d0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>International Women\u2019s Day celebrates digital advancements and champions the women forging innovation through technology.
