“Today, there are more and more women working in the IT sector, partly because the demand for digital skills is growing rapidly. Roles are being created that, up until just two years ago, didn’t exist. It’s individual skills that give rise to new jobs. We hire up to one thousand people a year, thanks in part to initiatives that promote female inclusion.” These were the words of Marina Irace, Director of Group People Management for Almaviva, in an interview with the magazine Io Donna, in which she describes the transformation of the job market and, in particular, the trends associated with gender issues and digital skills.

“An analyst must also be knowledgeable about his or her specific field, with expertise that ranges from practical know-how to logistics. Many graduates in related disciplines later develop technological skills,” says Irace. At Almaviva, through our Academies which offer specialized digital training courses, new hires are trained for 3 or 6 months with the support of a company tutor. These Academies are designed for both university and high school graduates.”
To attract female talent to the digital world, “we organize orientation days.”
“We’ve also established a ‘role model’ program in which our executives become Almaviva ambassadors, sharing their professional journeys with high school students and providing an inspirational example for future candidates,” adds Irace.
