Brigitte Legault Hosts Ange Paye (Voto) on the LIBI Podcast
This is the fourth episode in a series hosted by Brigitte Legault, which features women role models in Alberta Tech.
This series will explore how women experience the tech sector in Alberta. Women hold 60% of STEM degrees, however only hold 25% of ICT roles and 57% of women in mid-level tech roles are leaving their positions.
Through this series we will explore what unique challenges they are facing, what inspires many to stay, and we will highlight their innovations, initiatives, and contributions to women's equity in our sector.
