Apple is launching a fresh program designed to address the difficulty of the lack of ladies in the technology branch in leadership positions and in the field of computer programming.

As part of an initiative announced on the first day of the week, women entrepreneurs and software developers will be attending two-week training sessions at the firm's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Camps will be held any 3 months, starting in January. In any round, Apple will take on up to 20 app creators made or led by a lady. In order to pass the selection, the application developer must be but 1 female programmer. Apple will cover the travel costs of up to 3 employees from any accepted company.

Like other big tech firms, Apple is trying to reduce its own servitude from men in high-paying programming work. The ladies filled only 23 percent of jobs in 2017, according to the firm's latest breakdown. This is only a small improvement compared to 20 percent in 2014, ignoring the firm's commitment to diversify its workforce.

The idea of the fresh camp is to attract ladies and put them in this area, said Esther hare, senior marketing Director of the universal creators of Apple.

Apple's training camp is a "tremendous step forward," said Lorraine Hariton, CEO of Catalyst, a group that fights for equal rights for women workers. "The technology has a large number of professional ladies. I suppose that would certainly set the tone for the whole branch."

But it is not clear how many dents suit fresh Apple program. Google is still inviting research for young women and ladies pursuing careers in technology, but its program has not yet done much to diversify the workforce. According to the company, the ladies were employed almost 25 % of the industrial workers of the spaces Google in 2017, compared with almost 21 per cent in 2014.

Apple and other technology firms say that one of the key reasons why, for example, a large number of men receive a salary, is that the ladies usually did not specialize in arithmetic and science, important for programming.

But industry critics have accused tech firms of discriminating against ladies through a male-dominated hierarchy that has ruled the sector of the economy in the direction of decades.

Apple does not talk about how much it spends on the initiative, but in addition to travel costs, the company will trust its own today's employees in order to lead the session.
