“We hire talent. ”
Those are the words of Rod Franz， a civil service
computer technology director， responding to the question of opportunities for women who are interested in pursuing careers as computer technicians.
On at least one of three shifts in his operation， the male-female ratio is 50-50. That is not surprising because government and educational institutes are required by the law to make every effort to open hiring opportunities to women and minority workers.
What may be even more interesting to young women is that， according to Franz， private industry is hiring women and minorities away from us. And， since private industry pays more， it succeeds.
Managers in the rapidly growing computer service field are quick to agree. They strongly encourage women to train for technician jobs， and they actively recruit female
technicians across the country. They believe that this career field offers a wealth of possibility for women.
A recent study by the Devry Institute of Technology that involved 100 employment managers in the Chicago area showed， too， that the number of women entering the field of computer science is on the rise， and that those already in the field are moving up. A significant increase in the number of women
in technical positions over the past five years was reported by 68 percent of the managers. Overall， companies reported a 20 percent increase in the number of women hired.
The Devry study showed a strong willingness on the part of employment managers to hire qualified women. In jobs traditionally considered male positions， the stereotype is quickly being eroded. Companies want to hire well-qualified people， people who know what they are doing， according to the study. Personnel（人事部门）managers interviewed ranked specific skills and education as the primary qualifications for employment and， of the two， skills were clearly preferred.
“We hire talent” are three key words. Employers want workers who are skilled and experienced on the particular
equipment or in the specific area of work where their need is. 16 Government and educational institutes are required by the law to make every effort to open hiring opportunities to women and minority workers.
