Microtek Learning Launches "Women in Tech" Scholarships to Support Female Careers in IT and Cybersecurity

SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Microtek Learning, a global provider of IT and professional certification training, today announced the launch of its "Women in Tech" Scholarship Program, aimed at increasing female representation in Information Technology and Cybersecurity.

The scholarship initiative provides financial assistance, mentorship, and professional guidance to women pursuing certifications in high-demand areas including Microsoft, AWS, PECB, CompTIA, and cybersecurity. By reducing financial and structural barriers, Microtek Learning seeks to help women build skills that will strengthen career opportunities in technology.

"Despite growth in tech, women remain significantly underrepresented in cybersecurity and IT roles," said Corazon Palmares, Director of Learning Solutions at Microtek Learning. "With this program, our goal is to create pathways for women to access world-class training, gain certifications, and secure leadership roles in technology."

Scholarship Program Benefits

• Covering up to 50% of eligible training costs
• Access to mentorship and peer networks through Microtek Learning's professional community
• Career guidance and coaching tailored to IT and cybersecurity roles

Industry reports show that women currently make up less than 25% of the global cybersecurity workforce, underscoring the need for targeted programs that encourage participation and advancement. With technology roles continuing to expand, the Women in Tech Scholarship will help ensure more women are prepared to succeed in the digital economy.
