Women currently make up 44% of Australia’s workforce, but just 30% of tech jobs. At the same time, more than 660,000 women are already working in roles that could transition into tech with the right training. By stepping into IT, women can unlock $31,000 more per year in income on average, while helping add $6.5 billion to the national economy. (ACS.org.au)
