The day « Le numérique : des métiers en tous genres »
This day, which takes place simultaneously in the digital centers of Brest Bouguen, Brest Iroise, Rennes Beaulieu and Rennes Villejean, as well as in the tele-amphitheaters of Lannion and Vannes and at ENSTA Bretagne, aims to raise awareness among middle school students (3rd year) about the great diversity of digital professions and the place of women in them.
The digital sector is undergoing rapid change and offers many and varied professional opportunities. However, while digital tools have been widely diversified and democratized, women are still few in number to enter this sector of activity and make a career in it.
This is a major concern of educational, research and business institutions. Numerous studies have shown that the perception of these fields of study by middle and high school students is very marked by stereotypes that hinder young girls in particular.
This day therefore aims in large part to give a lively and diversified image of these professions, to deconstruct gender stereotypes, and to answer the questions that young people are asking themselves.
