CLEVELAND — According to the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), women remain greatly underrepresented in the tech industry. Nationally, women represent approximately 49% of the U.S. workforce and only 26% of tech occupations. In Ohio, women are paid 21% less than their male counterparts.

The event highlights “Women in Tech.” Kelly Brucker, Tech Elevator’s Lead Pathway Program Director, spoke with Spectrum News 1 Ohio about the opportunities available for women who are interested in tech industry.
