If you’ve been hovering around the tech industry for a while (whether you’re looking for a career transition or you love binge watching tech reviews on YouTube), chances are you’ve heard of APIs. Maybe someone has mentioned them to you in conversation, and you nodded enthusiastically and made a mental note to look it up later. Many tech-enthusiasts have a vague idea about the term, but often without detail. Time to fix that today.

A background in technology such as web design and coding opens many career doors such as video game design, business analytics, digital marketing, web development, animation, graphics, product design, and more. Despite the potential of these careers for job satisfaction and generous pay packets, there is still a notable shortage of women working in tech industries. Recent figures highlight the fact that only around 5% of CEO positions in the tech industry are filled by women. These five documentaries were created to be a source of inspiration for women thinking of technology as a career path whether they're interested in being engineers or entrepreneurs. If these documentaries have inspired you, check out our Ironhack courses in web development, data analytics, and UX/UI Design.

UX/UI Design
When you're getting into the web and digital design field, it's important to have a grasp of the best tools out in the market. And that world is evolving constantly, giving designers the chance to work with a huge array of tools that allow them to deliver fantastic work. Even better, many of these tools are now free, which means that designers can build their skills and portfolios without needing to invest large sums in software licenses.

Over the years, women have been encouraged to pursue technology. But today, there’s still a wide gap between men and women in tech. Even though women make up about 47% of the U.S workforce, only 26.7% have jobs in the tech industry. According to Fortune, women run 8.8% of businesses on the Fortune 500 list in 2022.

Strong women in the tech world are powerful role models for young women entering the industry. However, most tech companies are still founded and led by men, with, at present, only about 5% of CEO positions being filled by women. Women are, however, blazing a trail with each year seeing an increasing number of female-founded tech startups. These success stories are fuelled by innovative ideas and market knowledge backed up with patience, diligence, inspiration, and a good grounding in the tech industry (such as provided by Ironhack courses). Hopefully, before long, women at the top of tech industries won't be newsworthy novelties.
