About the Program

Diversity drives innovation and creativity, so why is it that only 25% of jobs in the tech industry are held by women?

To better understand the reason why, we conducted a survey of over 3,000 Americans. What we found was overwhelming – 76% agreed that there aren’t enough women working in technology, while three quarters agreed women don’t get the same level of respect as men. And there are still some people who believe that women don’t belong in tech, with 17% saying it is unfeminine to work in this field, and 6% believing that women are simply less skilled in technology.

We need to take action and make a change now.

We want to encourage and inspire more women to make waves in technology. That’s why we are proud to announce the launch of Mediaocean’s Women in Technology Scholarship Fund.
