NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2024 / Technology continues to transform the workforce raising fundamental questions about how to better prepare women for career opportunities in the tech industry.

Each panelist brought a wealth of experience to the discussion, offering invaluable advice based on their own journeys, a glimpse into the diversity of tech-related jobs and insights about the types of skills needed to build a tech career.
The panelists included:
