Why TECH-MOMS in Utah
An Overlooked Talent Pool
Women in Utah currently represent 44% of the labor force, in which 60% of mothers with kids under 17 already participate.
In addition, more than 30% of women in Utah hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. Yet women merely comprise 15.2% of Utah’s tech workforce, compared to 22.5% nationally. Therefore, bringing more moms into tech will expand the talent pool needed to fuel growth while increasing diversity in perspectives required for innovation and competition in a global, digital world.
Considering 86% of women in the U.S. become mothers by age 44, with Utah reporting the highest birth rate of all, sidelining women who become mothers is a colossal waste of human capital.
Putting a STEM role model into the home of every mom we train is just the icing on top. With women driving 85% of business and consumer purchasing and putting 90% of their income back into their local economy, it make sense to invest in moms if we want new products and services for everyone, not to mention stronger families and communities for generations to come.
