Women in TechWorks launch
summary
Launch outlines an initiative targeting concrete gaps: semiconductor female participation at 26% overall and 18% in technical roles, only 8% of women in electronic and engineering degrees and a projected million skilled-worker shortfall as semiconductors grow from $600B toward $1T. Actions include a structured mentoring program paired across organizations and continents, sponsorship (use political capital to push candidates up), leadership pathways, speaker databases, awards, and a brand tied to a tungsten-style "W" to boost visibility and retention.
