Also willing to help, Pretalab developed a platform that connects black women to technology and the job market. According to information from the newspaper O Tempo, the Olabia social organization to democratize the technological area, created Pretalab with the aim of offering courses, consultancy and indicating vacancies so that female participation in the sector grows more and more.

Our aim is to work to ensure that the role of black women in technology is increasingly powerful. Today, there are 1,300 of them on our platform, which gives visibility and connects people. In the world of technology in Brazil, only 25% of professionals are women; in universities, only 3% of black students are in computer science areas“, he said Silvana Bahiaco-director of Olabi.

MORE WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY!

Growing more and more in Brazil, the technology market has been standing out for the space offered to women. Thus, high salaries came to light as main points, but demand is still low. According to data published by General Register of Employed and Unemployed (Caged), female participation grew 60% in the sector in the period 2015-2022.

On the other hand, a study by the technology company Revelo, pointed out that only 12.7% of the market’s vacancies are occupied by women. Men are at 87.7%. Given the space and good salaries for women in the sector, schools have been offering free courses and enrollment so that women can increasingly enter the expanding market.

We are committed to boosting the female presence in the world of technology. Therefore, we have a provisional campaign offering free registration fees to all girls and teenagers who wish to join us. We believe in a more diverse and gender-equitable market”, he stated Nívia Carvalhopedagogical coordinator, in an interview with the BNC Amazonas website.
