Talent Garden, the European operator of Digital Education
Giulia Friend of Meane Global Director Talent Garden
When it comes to digital professions we refer to the works born with the Digital Transformation. This meaning includes numerous figures with a common denominator:
- I work on the web and on software;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Digital and analytic data;
- Communication and management in the digitized economy.
In a context in which the rate of female presence in the scientific and technological areas has risen to 44% in Italy (report Gender in research by Elsevier), closing the gender gap in the sector is getting closer and is driven by training.
This is what the data recorded by Talent Garden. Already in the first two months of 2022, the classes of the international school for professional growth of Talent Garden, the largest player in Europe in digital education by size and geographical footprint, are tinged with pink.
The membership fee of women beats in fact that of men. In particular, the most chosen training courses are those related to: Digital Marketing, Design (UX and UI) and Digital Human Resource. Giulia Friend of MeaneGlobal Director Talent Garden Innovation School, said:
Today more than ever the common goal of companies must be gender equality and a lot of STEM training is needed to overcome this obstacle. We are very happy to see a growing female presence within our classrooms, particularly at a time when, if the major investment from the NRP to finance innovation will generate over 1.2 million jobs by 2050, the employment future of women is also closely linked to their access to STEM areas and the need to fill the skill mismatch relating to the subjects in question. We are pursuing an inclusive model that aims to help reduce gender inequality and we hope to train more and more young women, for a future in which it will no longer be necessary to talk about gender equality.
