Women in computing have shaped the evolution of information technology. They were among the first programmers in the early 20th century and contributed substantially to the industry.

ALD is an event that really helps us motivate female popularity to step in the world of computer science, and our company is happy to help young women whose dream is to work as a software developer.

Since the last year, students of the Tuzlas’ Chemical School, thanks to this agreement with CA design, have a student traineeship at not only web design but programming studies as well.
At that student traineeship, they have a mentor that we have assigned to them with whom they will work on real projects so that we can direct them as best we can into the work they will one day pursue, the job they are educating themself for. – Gabriela Andreas, marketing manager at CA Design told RTVTK.
The expansion of cooperation between the school and this company, which builds its market mainly in the United States, is reflected by the donation of 10 desktop computers that were handed over today with the installed operating systems that were handed to school management.
– It is one act of goodwill from the company business owners to improve the working conditions of other students in these studies as a graphics technician – web designer at our school.

With the involvement of even more students in projects together with 60 donor company employees, these partners will continue to cooperate in the years to come.
