The Vision for EmpowHer VMCE
In the world of technology, women often face unique challenges, including a lack of advancement opportunities, limited access to training resources, and a shortage of women role models. At Veeam, we firmly believe that equality benefits everyone, and we're committed to creating a level playing field where anyone with potential can thrive. That is why we launched EmpowerHer, a diversity and inclusion initiative unveiled at VeeamON 2023 and championed by our executive leadership. This transformative program is designed to empower women within the Veeam ecosystem through comprehensive training and certification, specifically featuring VMCE, our premium training course typically available on a fee basis. We carefully selected participants who are pursuing IT careers, ensuring equal opportunities for all registrants, regardless of country, company size, or type of affiliation with Veeam.
Last year, fewer than 150 women worldwide attended a VMCE course. This year, we're determined to double the number of women by providing this VMCE training opportunity specifically for women. We will do this by:
Promoting diversity
We're committed to infusing qualified women into the market, striving for equal representation of diverse talent within our ecosystem.
Empowering success
We empower women through education and certification, helping individuals flourish in their IT careers.
Cultivating role models
By nurturing talent, we're creating role models who, in turn, inspire and encourage more women to join, creating a positive feedback loop of progress.
