Girls in the Technology Sector
Technology sector offers huge employment opportunities, especially for girls, but this sector has not been seen up to now as attractive in this part of the population. The Norwegian Embassy in Prishtina has funded a project that aims to increase the participation of Kosovo women in IT. Currently, the gender composition of employees in the information technology sector is 80% male and 20% female.
On May 15th, KS-Kosova organised a conference on the issue of women in IT, where a project on this subject was presented. This project focuses on early educational level of women, secondary education that will increase the employment of women in the ICT sector, and strengthen the position of women in the Kosovo economy.
Besides the Norwegian Ambassador, the KS-Kosova had the honor of hosting many important guests during the conference, such as the Minister of Labour and Social Welfare, Mr. Arban Abrashi, STIKK Executive Director, Mrs. Vjollca Çavolli, and other important key-players of the ICT sector.
