Story: Women 'central' to saving UK tech industry
What skills
"to plugging a critical skills shortfall"
It would be interesting to know what those skills are.
I admit I think there should be a balance between men and women, young and adults in any company. And the percentage of women working in IT in the UK is low.
As a Scandinavian (man pig) I would however suggest that when the percentage of women in a IT company exceeds, say 48%, then start selling your stock.
Women are extremely good at lots of things but innovation is not in that group, but still an inportant part in IT.
Women will operate the washing machine better than men, but they did not invent it. What a pig I am.
So what skills are you talking about, "business intelligence and business process improvement" is not good enough.
Bye the way, Yellowcave had a good point in "MS noddy exams".
Microsoft is actually killing IT because you are never more than a user working with Microsoft and that is not enough if you need IT professionals.
The most funny thing is that a Microsoft "professional" is more or less worthless without "Unix" experience even if he was involved only in Microsoft stuff.
