Curry College invites young women who are high school rising sophomores or rising juniors to our 1st annual HerUniverse conference on Friday, May 31, 2019 at our campus in Milton, MA.
The HerUniverse conference will introduce young women to career possibilities in the software development and information technology fields. Through speakers, interactive presentations, and hands-on workshops, attendees are treated to a variety of opportunities to explore education and career paths in technology.
Did you know?
- Job growth in software development is approximately 20% annually.
- Unemployment among software developers is approximately 2%.
- Most software developers enter the work force with a bachelor’s degree.
- Starting pay for software developers ranges from $57,000 per year to $116,000 per year (according to PayScale).
While the statistics vary somewhat, only about 17% of software developers are women. Here at Curry College, we would like to see that percentage grow. The HerUniverse Conference is just one way we are attempting to increase the number of women entering the software development and information technology workforce.
