Non-Traditional Education to Advance Women in Computing Careers in the St. Louis Metro Region
The Saint Louis Metropolitan Area has been one of the top American cities for tech startups while hosting a substantial number of fortune 500 companies. Usually, this translates into job opportunities for those living and working within the area. However, the immediate challenge is the lack of women within the workforce that is currently there. While one of the top 50 largest metropolitan areas, Saint Louis has a deficit of women in computer engineering related fields. This paper aims to address those issues while displaying what this city has done to increase the workforce in the metropolitan area. The authors review current initiatives while providing recommendations for enhancing those already present.
