About Event
In India’s IT sector, nearly 50 percent of women drop out of the active workforce after about 5- 8 years and do not return to work. Research indicates that although most of these women are interested in re-joining the workforce after the break, they are unable to because the rapid evolution of technology results in their skills being outdated. Launched in October 2018, VMinclusion Taara aims to help women address this challenge by providing them with training and upskilling opportunities they need. This initiative, in partnership with Women Who Code, will upskill 15,000 women in India over the next two years by providing them with free technical education on VMware products & technology that enable digital business transformation technologies.
