Cork initiative bids to attract more women into working in tech sector

An initiative aimed at attracting, developing and retaining women in technology industries has been launched.

Connecting Women in Technology (CWIT) Cork is a collaborative initiative formed by women working at EMC, Dell, Intel Security, Tyco and VCE with an approach to increasing women’s contribution in the IT sector.

Angela Power, one of the women spearheading the initiative, which was officially launched last night, said the event was an ample networking opportunity to get to know people in the technology industry and for CWIT Cork to share its goals, mission and vision.
