Welcome!
Welcome back to another edition of PSCI's client newsletter, the IT
Industry Rundown! The birds are chirping, the days are getting
longer, and temperatures are finally starting to rise. Spring is
definitely in the air!
While change is happening outside, it's the change inside that we'd
like to focus on. More specifically, the gender gap within the IT
industry. While we may be a week removed from March and Women's
History Month, Women in Tech is a topic that needs to be focused on
year round. That's why we've focused on highlighting articles that
deal with inclusion, attraction, and mentorship for women in
technology.
Beyond those articles, however, there's also a
great piece from 60
Minutes we encourage everyone to check out that focuses on
closing the gender gap in technology.
Aside from those pieces, you'll also find original content related
to strengthening relationships with staffing providers, the
benefits associated with partnering with staffing providers, and
why Delaware is such a great place for business.
I hope you find these articles both informative and inspiring. And
please remember to connect with us on LinkedIn,
Facebook, and
Twitter for even
more IT industry information.
