A website created by a university student to help girls find out more about  ICT courses and to encourage them to study ICT.

Launched as a tripartite initiative of the Department of Biotechnology, the Tamil Nadu state government, and the M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, the program aims to improve opportunities for women scientists, but also to use science to improve women’s lives, by supporting women biotechnology entrepreneurs in developing and marketing products. The governing body of the Park also has members from research and development institutions, financial institutions, and women entrepreneurs. The Park offers long- and short-term leases, land modules for building factories, project assessment and support, project identification and technology sourcing, consultancy advice, market linkages and training.

Applicants must be a female student at an Australian or New Zealand university who has completed one or more years of a Bachelors degree with at least one year of study remaining, whether as part of a Bachelors or postgraduate degree.  Must be studying Computer Science, software Engineering, informatics or a closely related technical field.

Gorgeous Geeks provides learning, sharing, networking and mentoring opportunities for its members. It also aims to inspire women to join the industry.  Conferences and seminars are held regularly to enhance leadership and entrepreneur skills.

Group of eight Australian universities offers fellowships nationally and internationally.

There are many study options for ICT careers, although a university degree greatly increases the options available to you. Courses that combine ICT with another discipline and those that have strong industry contacts or work programs are gaining popularity. However, it is possible to enter the profession by other routes, such as starting out on an IT helpdesk, and moving upwards as you undertake industry certification and/or vendor training.

Whichever path you choose, however, you can be assured that it’s only the beginning. ICT is so fast paced that a successful career demands you keep your skills and knowledge up to date, and commit to lifelong learning.
Find out the courses available at various levels: i) University or ii) TAFE.
