Tosin Eniolorunda, the Managing Director and CEO of Team Apt said that many women continue to face challenges in advancing their careers in Tech. ‘’That as the tech industry continuously strives to bridge the gender inequality gap, female talent is still underrepresented in most technical roles. As an organisation, we are committed to equality and normalising the inclusion of women in such roles. The TeamApt Women in Tech Internship Programme is one of the ways we are ensuring an increase in the existing quota and provide opportunities for viable careers within the tech industry,” he said.
