'Girls in ICT' web portal unveiled

The ITU (International Telecommunications Union) has launched a new Web portal focused on helping girls and women access training, job opportunities, and career information in the fast-growing information and communication (ICT) sector.

The portal is designed to help girls and young women aged 11-25 prepare for and pursue a technology career, providing links to scholarships, training and internships, ICT contests and awards, tech camps, online girls’ networks and other programs that will give them a boost in entering what has become a largely male-dominated sector. — Newsbytes.ph
