Celebrating Women in Engineering Day with Integrant
Thursday, June 23rd marks International Women in Engineering Day 2024—a significant moment to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women in engineering fields worldwide.
At Integrant, we take pride in acknowledging this important day, especially as a software development company committed to fostering diversity and inclusion.
Women in Engineering Day provides an opportunity to reflect on both the progress achieved and the steps we still need to take to create equal opportunities in tech.
Women in Software Engineering: A Path to Progress
In software development, the gender gap remains a challenge, with fewer women in the industry compared to men. Additionally, disparities in roles, pay rates, and career advancement persist.
While International Women in Engineering Day brings attention to the achievements of women in engineering, it also highlights the importance of continuing the fight for equity in the field.
At Integrant, we have made strides to address these disparities. Currently, 50% of our tech leadership roles and 40% of our engineering positions are held by women.
These numbers demonstrate our ongoing commitment to increasing the representation of women in software engineering, but there is still room for improvement. We remain dedicated to fostering an environment where women can grow, lead, and innovate in the tech industry.
The History of International Women in Engineering Day
International Women in Engineering Day has its roots in the post-WWI era when a group of women in Europe founded the Women’s Engineering Society (WES). The society’s mission was to support and provide opportunities for women pursuing or holding engineering roles.
Established on the 95th anniversary of WES, Women in Engineering Day promotes the importance of women-led initiatives and emphasizes the need for greater accessibility to engineering roles for women.
In 2017, the day gained global recognition, becoming an international observance.
International Women in Engineering Day 2024 serves as a reminder of the vital contributions women make to engineering and the importance of continued advocacy for gender equality in the field.
Women in Engineering at Integrant and Around the World
Globally, women represent only a fraction of the engineering workforce. However, at Integrant, we are proud of the steps we’ve taken to foster gender diversity.
As mentioned, women hold 50% of our tech leadership positions, and 40% of our engineering roles. While these numbers are a step in the right direction, our goal is to further increase opportunities for women in software engineering and related fields.
What Current Women in Engineering Have to Say
At Integrant, the voices of women in engineering are essential to our growth and success. Here are a few insights from women in our engineering team:
