Women in Information Technology Council elected Ms Krautbauer as a chair
The CompTIA Educational Foundation created a Women in Information Technology (IT) Council to empower women and inspire them for successful IT careers. In January 2011, the council elected Susan Krautbauer, Business Development-Americas, Elcoteq, as its chair.
Ms Krautbauer has more than 20 years of experience in the IT technology and logistics industry, working with Fortune 500 companies, distributors, OEMs, ITO/BPO organizations and global IT maintenance companies.
Technical innovation plays a critical role in virtually every sector of the economy. Yet, only 25 percent of professional IT-related occupations in the American 2009 workforce were held by women, down from 36 percent in 1991, according to research from the National Center for Women & IT. In 2008, only 18 percent of computer and information science degrees were awarded to women, down from 37 percent in 1985.
The CompTIA Educational Foundation is striving to make IT the career of choice for more women. Foundation is focusing on helping women in financial need, female veterans and military spouses find lasting careers in IT.
About the CompTIA Educational Foundation
The CompTIA Educational Foundation provides career opportunities for individuals who historically have been under-represented in the IT workforce. With the support of individuals, industry leaders, companies, non-profits and the government, the Foundation creates and partners on programs to help U.S. military personnel and spouses, at-risk youth and individuals with disabilities to obtain the technical and business skills employers require. Since its creation in 1998, the Foundation has helped more than 1,000 individuals enter the IT workforce, helping the industry alleviate its shortage of skilled workers.
