Women empowering HDD
The issue of skills shortages remains a major and complex challenge. Enough incentive for the DCA to get involved with large-scale projects in this area and to ask itself how the HDD industry can be made more attractive for both target groups and how the target groups can be better interested in the HDD industry.
In the “Women empowering HDD” project, a network consisting of six women has been meeting since October 2023 to develop specific measures. This includes, for example, a survey that was made available to DCA member companies at the members’ meeting with the aim of identifying key figures, the role of women in the companies and any uncertainties. The group will work closely with the “HDD Film” task group. The results will be presented at the next annual congress and an action plan will be prepared.
