ICT on Heels is a networking and empowerment platform created for
women in ICT. It is a platform that will empower new entrants in ICT
through engagement with their peers, women in senior management,
executive level positions or thriving entrepreneurs. The close-knit
network that this platform make it possible for young women to get
guidance and stay motivated despite the daily challenges that face
women in a male-dominated industry.
The main objective of ICT on Heels is to provide a support and
guidance to women who have recently qualified or entered the field and
women who want to grow into other areas within ICT. We do this through
offering them a support system of mentors in the industry, who are
there to support and help these young women navigate their careers.
While more women are now taking up courses in ICT, young scholars in
the deep rural and some townships of South Africa are still not
entirely informed about the possible career options in ICT. Our
secondary objective is to ensure that such young scholars are exposed
to technology and education regarding the possible career options. We
do this through building ICT labs and hosting career days.
We also expose women to career options that are regarded as scarce
careers within the discipline of ICT and help them remap their career
paths through exposing them to technologies such as development, cyber
security, business intelligence and many more.
