Cadence Design Systems has launched Fem.AI, an initiative aimed at reshaping the tech/AI workforce for a more equitable future. The program addresses three key areas where women are losing traction in the tech/AI ecosystem: completing higher education, accessing first jobs, and retaining STEM careers.
Fem.AI aims to empower women through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, pathways to employment, scholarships, and collaboration with the Cadence Academic Network. The initiative has partnered with seven nonprofits focused on increasing women's representation in STEM degrees, first jobs, and leadership roles.
An upcoming Fem.AI Summit will bring together industry leaders to address gender disparity in high tech and AI, brainstorming actionable solutions to promote gender equality. Cadence calls for collective action to clear the path and catalyze the role of women in the AI revolution.
Cadence Design Systems ha lanciato Fem.AI, un'iniziativa volta a rimodellare la forza lavoro nel settore tech/AI per un futuro più equo. Il programma affronta tre aree chiave in cui le donne stanno perdendo terreno nell'ecosistema tech/AI: completare l'istruzione superiore, accedere ai primi lavori e mantenere carriere STEM.
Fem.AI mira a potenziare le donne attraverso partnership con organizzazioni nonprofit, strade per l'occupazione, borse di studio e collaborazione con il Cadence Academic Network. L'iniziativa ha collaborato con sette organizzazioni nonprofit focalizzate sull'aumento della rappresentanza femminile nei corsi di laurea STEM, nei primi lavori e nei ruoli dirigenziali.

Cadence Design Systems는 Fem.AI를 출시하였습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 더 공정한 미래를 위한 기술/AI 인력의 재편성을 목표로 하고 있습니다. 이 프로그램은 여성들이 기술/AI 생태계에서 낙오되고 있는 세 가지 주요 분야를 다룹니다: 고등 교육 이수, 첫 직장 접근, STEM 경력 유지.
Fem.AI는 비영리 조직과의 파트너십, 취업 경로, 장학금, Cadence Academic Network와의 협력을 통해 여성 권한을 강화하고자 합니다. 이 이니셔티브는 STEM 학위, 첫 직장 및 리더십 역할에서 여성의 대표성을 높이는 데 집중하는 일곱 개의 비영리 단체와 협력하였습니다.
Cadence Design Systems a lancé Fem.AI, une initiative visant à remodeler la main-d'œuvre technologique/IA pour un avenir plus équitable. Le programme aborde trois domaines clés où les femmes perdent du terrain dans l'écosystème technologique/IA : l'achèvement des études supérieures, l'accès aux premiers emplois et la pérennisation des carrières STEM.
Fem.AI vise à autonomiser les femmes grâce à des partenariats avec des organisations à but non lucratif, des voies vers l'emploi, des bourses d'études et la collaboration avec le Cadence Academic Network. L'initiative a établi un partenariat avec sept organisations à but non lucratif axées sur l'augmentation de la représentation des femmes dans les diplômes STEM, les premiers emplois et les postes de direction.

Cadence Design Systems hat Fem.AI ins Leben gerufen, eine Initiative zur Umgestaltung der Tech/AI-Belegschaft für eine gerechtere Zukunft. Das Programm widmet sich drei zentralen Bereichen, in denen Frauen im Tech/AI-Ökosystem zurückfallen: den Abschluss einer höheren Bildung, den Zugang zu den ersten Jobs und der Erhaltung von STEM-Karrieren.
Fem.AI zielt darauf ab, Frauen durch Partnerschaften mit gemeinnützigen Organisationen, Beschäftigungswege, Stipendien und die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Cadence Academic Network zu stärken. Die Initiative hat sich mit sieben gemeinnützigen Organisationen zusammengeschlossen, die sich auf die Erhöhung der Frauenrepräsentation in STEM-Studiengängen, ersten Jobs und Führungspositionen konzentrieren.
Ein bevorstehender Fem.AI Summit wird Branchenführer zusammenbringen, um die Geschlechterungleichheit im Hochtechnologiebereich und in der KI anzugehen und um umsetzbare Lösungen zur Förderung der Geschlechtergleichstellung zu entwickeln. Cadence ruft zu gemeinsamem Handeln auf, um den Weg zu ebnen und die Rolle der Frauen in der KI-Revolution zu katalysieren.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / September 23, 2024 / The Cadence Giving Foundation was founded in 2022 to support critical needs in communities around the world with a focus on access to STEM education, DEI in STEM, and climate and sustainability. We are excited to unveil an exciting initiative our team and our partners have been working tirelessly on to create opportunities for women in tech and artificial intelligence (AI), driving a future workforce that is inclusive, innovative, and career-ready.
Cadence is launching Fem.AI to change the workforce of tech and AI to propel women and the industry toward a more equitable tech sector. Despite years of effort, the tech industry is lagging on critical measures of gender equity. Initial research by Cadence has identified three "leakage points" in the tech/AI ecosystem where women are losing traction:
Completing Higher Education: In 2021, approximately
20% of computer science graduates were female, while45% of women who start college as STEM majors leave to pursue another degree.Accessing First Jobs: Women with STEM-related degrees face more unemployment challenges post-graduation, with women holding just over
20% of AI roles in US tech companies.Retaining STEM Careers: Over
56% of women in tech are likely to leave the industry before mid-career, further exacerbating the gender gap.
Addressing this imbalance now, in the dawn of a new technological era, is crucial for women's economic well-being and for shaping inclusive and equitable innovations that serve society. By investing in nonprofits, championing women-led ventures, driving product innovation, and leveraging peer influence, Fem.AI advances women to the forefront in education, hiring, leadership, and innovation.
Through Fem.AI, we aim to empower through:
Partnerships: Build strategic alliances to drive transformative change in STEM education and careers, and elevate opportunities in AI for impactful growth and inclusive success.
Pathways to Employment: Provide mentorship, returnships, and pathways to thrive in tech and AI, unlocking opportunities and ensuring advancement and impact with every step.
Scholarships: Provide scholarships that embrace a spectrum of backgrounds, experiences, and ideas for transformative impact.
Cadence Academic Network: Collaborate with the academic community worldwide to ignite a passion for technology education and foster future innovators.
We've partnered with seven nonprofit organizations focused on increasing the number of women obtaining STEM degrees and their first jobs, as well as increasing representation at the leadership level: Break Through Tech, Last Mile Education Fund, Fast ForwardGeneration,VC Include,Global Semiconductor Alliance, and Reboot Representation.
We're excited to host the Fem.AI Summit next month, which will bring together leadership across the tech landscape to inform and shape a future where women are fully engaged in the ecosystem of AI innovation. The summit's mission is to enlighten, empower, and mobilize stakeholders across various industries on the issue of gender disparity in high tech, specifically in AI, while also brainstorming actionable solutions to promote gender equality. This conference marks the kickoff of a movement aimed at breaking the cycle of inequity and initiating steps toward a more inclusive future for women in high-tech and AI.
This is just the start, and we must take collective action now. I hope that you will join Cadence to ensure that we clear the path and catalyze the role of women in the AI revolution.
