HONOR Technologies empowers schoolgirls on Girls in ICT Day
The Star
|April 30, 2025
TO BRIDGE the gender gap in technology, HONOR Technologies celebrated Girls in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Day by hosting 40 schoolgirls, giving them a rare opportunity to engage with mentorship, innovation, and real-world tech experiences.
The initiative was designed to address the gender disparity in South Africa's ICT sector, where women currently make up only 23% of the workforce. By hosting this empowering event, HONOR Technologies is taking a bold step toward its broader mission of increasing female representation in the ICT industry and encouraging young women to pursue careers in technology, ultimately helping to reshape the future of the sector.
The event was held at HONOR Technologies' Johannesburg office on April 24, bringing together young girls from local communities to inspire and spark their interest in pursuing careers in technology.
The day was filled with impactful talks and workshops led by some of the most influential women in the tech industry.
Nonkqubela Jordan-Dyani, Director-General of the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT), shared her perspective on the critical role of digital transformation in shaping South Africa's future.
