Happy International Women’s Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a day of celebrating all the women in the world. For us, we’d also like to have a word on women in tech. Right now, 25% of our students are women. This is why we asked two of our students about their stance on the subject “Women in tech.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think there is nothing to worry about being a women and joining IT field! For me, I do not see or feel any negative or different behavior towards me or other womens in our school.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If I think about it then at the beginning of school I saw that people rather asked help from men and I saw some surprised faces when I told that I know how to help. But now everyone knows others skills and level so now there is no difference between men and woman.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m not gonna lie – I was prepared to be discriminated against before coming to kood\/J\u00f5hvi. It’s a known fact that statistically there are more men in the IT field than women. Thus, I do feel different and that feeling will stick, but I don’t view it as a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Kersti Kaljulaid’s latest visitation to our school, I asked the question: “What was it like to be the first female president?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She smirked and said that the question itself shouldn’t include “female president” but just “president”. President, among other professions, shouldn’t be a gendered word. However, she also explained that she did understand the value of being the first female president, because we’ve still got a long way to go in terms of reaching equality among women and men in the labour force.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is exactly how I feel. A lot of progress has been made, but there’s still a lot ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel honored to be among the 25% in this school. I feel honored to pave the way for future female programmers, to set an example. This is important to me and to the IT field as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I truly believe men and women can support each other in different ways and both have a lot to bring to the table. It’s just a matter of time, and a bit of collective relearning as a society, before the statistics change and we start seeing unicorns that are lead by women.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And to my pleasant surprise, when I joined kood\/J\u00f5hvi, I was rather viewed as a wise, confident person, one worth having around no matter my gender – just the way it should be :)”<\/p>\n
