Addressing how women are making significant strides into the tech industry.
Here’s an interesting conversation: Women taking over the tech scene. Oh how far we have come, there’s never been a better time to become a woman in tech. There’s no doubt about it, the industry has changed for the better, it might surprise you but despite the old boys’ club vibe, women are making huge impact, flipping the script and leaving their mark like never before.
Now, breaking into a male dominated field is not a walk in the park. There is this annoying stigma that tech is not a woman’s world. But guess what? We are here to prove them wrong, one line of code at a time.
But things are easier said than done, so how do we do it? Here are some tips to help you navigate and conquer the tech industry.
Now that we have gotten all those points out there. Let us hit pause and ask ourselves a few real-talk questions:
As we face these questions head-on and supporting each other every step of the way, we are building a future where women thrive in tech. So let us keep on rocking those keyboards, breaking barriers, and showing off that tech is for everyone.
And guess what? Alberta Educational Centre with their range of Certifications and Diplomas is opening doors for women to pursue a career in tech, promoting inclusivity and diversity, we are not just aiming of a more inclusive tech world – we are making it happen through our students.

June 7, 2023: Gentle Nutrition: A non-diet approach to healthy eating
Sherry is a certified coach and trained intuitive eating counselor. She left an accomplished and successful 25 year career as an IT professional and corporate executive to start her own health coaching business. Her passion is helping women in midlife end chronic dieting by taking a non-diet approach to health.
When did eating, one of the most basic and fundamental human needs get so complicated? It doesn’t have to be. Join Sherry as she discusses how diet culture, fad diets and misinformation from unqualified, self-proclaimed experts and influencers muddy the waters of what constitutes a healthy diet. Add in food rules, negative self-talk and distorted body image and you have a trifecta of factors that contribute to a loss of trust in our own inner knowing of what is right for us to satisfy our needs. With Gentle Nutrition we move away from classifying foods as “good” and “bad” and towards a healthier balanced relationship with food, one where there is a place for both “nutritious” foods and “fun” foods
