Bridging the Gender Gap in Europe’s Tech Sector
The digital landscape is expanding rapidly, offering immense career opportunities, yet the cybersecurity sector faces a significant gender imbalance and a shortage of skilled professionals. CyberMe is an EU-funded project designed to encourage young women (aged 18-30) to pursue careers in IT security. By breaking down gender stereotypes and providing inclusive training, we transform a technical challenge into an opportunity for professional empowerment.
