I am very excited and looking forward to participating as a speaker this year at IBM zDay on September 15th. Make sure to attend the session -
Fans of IBM zSystems - The Power of Advocacy.
My work at Mom Relaunch Foundation, a workforce development non profit, has given me a unique perspective into why IBM zDay should be celebrated, and today I want to talk to you about what advocacy for IBM zSystems means to me.
I am a champion for women, especially the ones returning from career breaks or transitioning into fulfilling and sustainable careers. There is no better opportunity for them to get great careers than in STEM fields where women’s representation has traditionally been disproportionately low. And there is no better place for women to get into STEM than at IBM.
I’ll tell you why.
As we all know, IBM mainframe technology is the most robust of all and will continue to run the majority of our financial and other extremely important institutions because it is fast, reliable, accurate, and secure. In the last year and a half I have worked closely with the IBM zSystems team to create programs for women from both IT and non-IT backgrounds. There are numerous job opportunities for women to upskill and find great careers in an environment that is very supportive of women in the workforce.
So won’t you help me amplify IBM zDay amongst your friends, family, and the larger community so more women, and men, can learn what IBM zSystems is all about?
