Developing informed and integrated strategies to address low female participation rates in professional Information Communication Technologies careers and pathways

该项目建议开展合作研究，以解决女性在信息通信技术专业职业和教育途径中的低参与率问题——涉及学术研究人员和昆士兰州教育部和昆士兰州ICT公司的人员。通过对11-12年级的女学生和ICT专业人员进行调查和访谈，将生成一个全面的昆士兰数据集，并与行业合作伙伴一起进行分析。研究结果将为在教育系统、信息通信技术产业和大学之间制定新的协调战略方法提供基础，以改善学校课程和提高女性参与率。这对于解决预计的技能短缺和最大化行业可用人才库是必要的。

This project proposes collaborative research to address low rates of female participation in Information Communication Technology professional occupations and education pathways - involving academic researchers and personnel from Education Queensland and Queensland based ICT companies . A comprehensive Queensland data set will be generated by surveying and interviewing female Year 11-12 students and ICT professionals, and analysed with industry partner involvement. Results will provide the basis for developing new and coordinated strategic approaches among education systems, ICT industry, and universities to improving school programs and enhancing female participation rates. This is necessary for addressing projected skill shortfalls and maximising talent pools available to industry.
