Female workers in the technology industry to reduce-women, employment discrimination-IT information
On Friday, three women governors and the social networking Facebook COO Sheryl? Sandberg (Sheryl Sandberg), Deloitte Consulting Chief Executive Officer Janet? Futi (Janet Foutty) and founder of the nonprofit organization Girls Who Code Lei Shima? Shao Jiani (Reshma Saujani) gathered together in one, discusses how to make girls benefited from the State's computer science education policy.
The meeting held at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California. This is the first time such meetings, for a period of one day. During the meeting, women in the public and private sector leaders will share the advanced method, as well as with new ways, to increase girls ' interest in science and technology.
"Right now, our momentum to computer science education is more rapid than ever. "Shao Jiani says," this momentum to continue, so we want to ensure that we do not ignore the problem of the gender gap. ”
Recently, the narrow "tech gender gap" issue has become the focus of attention because over the past 10 years the number of female students studying computer science in reduced and labour market demand is surging for engineering. According to statistics from the Girls Who Code organization, currently the United States has more than 500,000 jobs need computer-related skills, but only about 40,000 computer science graduates each year go into these jobs.
"We need training and use of talents. This meeting proved that our female Governors have become involved and are committed to closing the gender gap problem. "Sandberg said in a statement.
Five female Governors in the United States, among them three women governors to attend the meeting. They are: Rhode Island Governor Gina? GONZALEZ, Raimundo (Gina Raimondo), Governor of Oklahoma Mary? by Linda (Mary Fallin) and Governor of Iowa gold? Reynolds (Kim Reynolds)-she is now Lieutenant Governor, but Governor Terry? Branstad (Terry Branstad) after the transfer to the United States Ambassador to China, formally took over the post of Governor Reynolds.
The purpose of this meeting will be the deep thinking States should implement policies and accountability mechanisms in the China National Governors Association annual meeting, to be held in July to launch a few computers with girls related to education policy.
"Other Governors are also looking forward to participating women leaders were able to put forward some practical proposals on these issues. "Shao Jiani said. She pointed out that, within its jurisdiction of States, some Governors have launched relevant STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education policy.
Last year, GONZALEZ, Raimundo female Governor has launched an initiative designed to help each of Rhode Island public schools until December 2017 started teaching computer science courses. 2011 Iowa STEM Advisory Committee from its inception, female Governor Reynolds began serving as Chairman of its joint leadership expanded the State's computer science education.
科技行业女性从业者在减少 - 女性,职业歧视 - IT资讯
周五，三名女州长与社交网络Facebook COO谢丽尔?桑德伯格（Sheryl Sandberg）、德勤管理咨询公司首席执行官珍妮特?福提（Janet Foutty）和非营利性组织Girls Who Code创始人雷什玛?邵佳妮（Reshma Saujani）齐聚一堂，探讨了如何让女孩子们从州电脑科学教育政策中受益。
这次会议在Facebook位于加利福尼亚州门洛帕克市的总部召开。这类会议尚属首次，为期一天时间。在会议期间，公私部门的女性领导者们将会分享已有的先进方法，以及想出各种新的方法，以期提高女孩子们对于科技的兴趣。
“现在，我们感觉电脑科学教育的发展势头要比以往任何时候都要迅猛。”邵佳妮说，“这种势头还会持续下去，因此我们希望确保我们不会忽略了性别差距的问题。”
最近，缩小“科技行业性别差距”的话题已越来越成为人们关注的焦点，因为在过去10年中攻读电脑科学的女大学生的数量减少了；而就业市场对于工程专业的需求却在迅猛增长。据Girls Who Code组织的统计数据显示，目前美国有超过50万个工作岗位需要电脑相关技能，但是每年只有大约4万个电脑科学专业的毕业生充实到这些岗位中去。
“我们需要培养和利用人才。这次会议证明，我们的女州长们已开始关注并致力于缩小性别差距问题了。”桑德伯格在一项声明中说。
美国现有五名女州长，其中有三名女州长参加这次会议。她们是：罗得岛州州长吉娜?雷蒙多（Gina Raimondo）、俄克拉何马州州长玛丽?法琳（Mary Fallin）和爱荷华州州长金?雷诺兹（Kim Reynolds）——她现在还只是副州长，但是在现任州长特里?布兰斯塔德（Terry Branstad）调任美国驻中国大使后，雷诺兹将正式担任州长之职。
此次会议的目的将是深刻思考各州应该实施的政策和责任机制，从而在将于7月举行的中国州长协会年会上推出几条与女孩子电脑教育问题相关的政策。
“其他州长也期盼与会的女性领导者们能够就这些问题提出一些切实可行的方案来。”邵佳妮说。她指出，一些州长已在其管辖的州内推出了有关STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）教育的新政策。
去年，雷蒙多女州长发起了一项倡议行动，旨在帮助罗得岛州的每所公立学校到2017年12月前开始教学电脑科学课程。从2011年爱荷华州STEM顾问委员会成立以来，雷诺兹女州长就开始担任其联合主席，领导拓展该州的电脑科学教育。
