Development of an information platform for young women for professional and academic orientation in IT-related professions (Digital Me)

Basic data for this project

Description

Digital Me aims to provide women with a browser-based and target group-specific offer for the STEM professions. In a virtual world environment, the participants aged 15 to 17 can find information and decision-making aids as well as games. In the end they know the content and career opportunities in selected IT professions so that they can consciously chose their studies and professions. In this way, Digital Me strives for a higher participation of young women in occupations with IT content and their leadership positions. As Digital Me represents a new way of interacting and settling the career choice process of young women, it is embedded in a comprehensive research project. After the completion of the platform in the first year, a test cohort in the form of workshops and surveys will determine the sociological impact of the platform in the second year and be optimized during the year, so that it can be used for all young women throughout Germany.
