More women in IT
The first question that always comes up with these kinds of projects is why it is necessary and then whether you are doing the right thing by taking on the challenge. To say that there are still too few women working in IT, tech and science is an understatement. In a few years, this will only increase. For almost ten years, we have been looking en masse for skilled internet developers in the Netherlands, preferably programmers who can work with PHP, C++, Java or C# and for a reasonable rate. Of course, there is more to do in the field, with a slightly less high "nerd content" and a higher social content. Think of all the organizational side functions of the project manager, program manager and even the CIO. The time of factory technology that my grandmother still knew is also over. Of course, the functions will continue to change over the years.
Three Orange women told about their daily activities to about twenty girls from the Catholic Montessori School in Bussum. The girls are about to choose their secondary school and a little later also the profile they are going to follow. None of these three ladies did a technical study. In retrospect, they would have been interested if they had heard more about it at the time. As young girls, they did not have the idea that they could or wanted to do this. That is why it is good that Dutch girls nowadays taiwan phone data get to know these kinds of work fields at a young age in an accessible and fun way.

The ladies were also given a tour of the data center that is located under the building. If you think that a number of cabinets and cables are very boring, you are wrong. There are quite a few safety aspects to such a data center and the girls listened with fascination to the stories. For example, there is water around the building so that a car cannot drive directly into the data center. The building is set up in such a way that an airplane would not reach the data center. The girls were also allowed to turn on a cooling machine with a raging engine. Normally you need special earmuffs for this, but these girls were not afraid of the sound. They pressed their ears tightly and watched as the engine started.
