WeTech to Build Pipeline to ICT Careers for Girls in India


Last week, the IIE formally launched the Women Enhancing Technology (WeTech) program in India. WeTech is a program helping more women and girls enter into, and succeed in, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) education and careers. In India, WeTech will help build the pipeline of girls entering into ICT by launching afterschool activities, exposing girls to role models, and engaging parents and teachers. Launched last fall at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting, this IIE-led program is carried out with a consortium that includes Goldman Sachs, Google, and Qualcomm Incorporated.
