Female Entrepreneurship in Tech: A Women's Empowerment Initiative

About the Seminar:

According to the National Institute for Women & Technology, as at 2017, “women held 57% of all professional occupations, yet they held only 25% of all computing occupations. And the numbers are even lower when considering women of color; for example, Latinas, Black & African women hold only 1% and 3% of these jobs, respectively.

Furthermore, even fewer women are found in software development, technology leadership, or the other kinds of key roles that have a significant influence on future innovation. Consider that 88% of all information technology patents (from 1980–2010) are invented by male-only invention teams while only 2% are invented by female-only invention teams.

This seminar organised in partnership with EMPRETEC Guyana aims to address the issue of lack of women in technology in Guyana; particularly providing an actionable framework for entrepreneurship pathways within IT.

Previous Event Reviews

Very detailed presentation, informative and precise.

Kamoy ClarkeJamaica

The seminar was quite enlightening and educative. I was made aware of the huge threat of cyber attacks on individuals. business organizations and governments. The need to be very careful with divulging information on the internet and opening of unsolicited or suspicious mail. The importance of security checks on personal profiles and status. The training of staff on the importance of cybersecurity so they could be prepared and be able to identify threats and to report all threats. Organizations need to invest in cybersecurity to safeguard their documents, data and networks against cyber attacks that can result in humongous losses. As for me and my organization it has impacted us on being careful with our documents and emails as it concerns our international orders and deliveries.

Testimonial:This seminar was timely and relevant for me because I’ve spent more time communicating online on a personal and business level. I found the facilitator to be knowledgeable in the subject matter and he was able to communicate the info in a simple and jovial manner. My awareness has risen toward possible online and physical threats to person and property. I would definitely begin to apply some of the protection measures that I learnt from this seminar. Thanks to Christian and Rhic Tech for sharing knowledge.

I would like to commend you for the quality and volume of material you put together for the 2-day Digital Transformation Strategies course. I found every topic as a unique opportunity to expand my knowledge and most importantly grow as a professional.

As the Digital Marketing Personnel for my organisation, the strategies you taught has exposed me to the digital opportunities my organization can explore to amplify our impact as a nonprofit, and most importantly, improve our sustainability by adopting digital transformation strategies.

Like you mentioned ‘Visibility Credibility Profitability’ – Some key takeaways I will implement include; optimizing our website, use our blog to boost search words, create quality content for our target audience and use social media to amplify our impact.

Once again, thank you very much!

Christian’s brain works as quickly as the internet when it comes to digital strategies and marketing ideas. He was free with his advice and guidance and whatever else he thought would help us understand and implement the knowledge into our organisations’ digital strategies. He has an interactive form of training that allows your learning to be as targeted as it can be in a diverse group setting. I am excited and am looking forward to creating and rolling out a full digital strategy for my organisation. Thank you, Rhics!

I just want to thank Christian for journeying all the way to Grenada to do this for us. I think it is a much-needed program at this point in Grenada where we are moving and transition into a time whereby everything is done online.

Dick NoelHubbards Grenada

The greatest takeaway for myself and my team is that we’re able to improve our inbound marketing and sale. Also, how to attract customers, convert them and close them.

Ruth WilsonSoarers International

The digital age is upon us. Guyana is an right now in the emerging state so internet boom will be upon us soon. Digital technologies, so to speak, should be adopted by everyone. We should transform our current ways of doing things and go digital because that is where the future is.

One of the things I’ve learned so far from this training is that there are so many platforms that you could advertise your business or organization to earn more support or clients. We’ve learned a lot so far.

Mark A. RobertsMinistry of Education, Guyana

I’ve learned that we don’t need to fight our competition; we can cooperate to get a co-opetition.
