Closing The Gap for Single Mothers

Women make up nearly half of the United States workforce, according to Pew Research. However, they still remain highly underrepresented in the skilled trade industry. A recent ‘Women in the Workplace’ study found that 40 percent of women in technical roles are the only women in the room at work. A lack of female role models, misconceptions of what it is like to work in a technical field and narrowly targeted recruitment efforts all contribute to the underrepresentation of women in technical careers. (McKinsey & Company)

While the percentage of women in the United States labor force has gradually climbed over the past decades, it is still significantly lower in the tech sector.

WIT is at the forefront of bridging this gender gap.  We are committed to guide and mentor our participants to grow in their career by offering playbook skills and training women how to level up their careers and lives.

There are over 400K+ cyber job openings in the United States with entry level positions starting at approximately $50K per year to $117K per year for IT Security.

Quick Facts: 

  • In Georgia alone, there are currently more than 21,868 open Cyber Security Roles with a low supply of skilled applicants. 
  • Entry-Level Cyber Security Salary: $52,565
