INTERVIEW

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 17 September 2024

We are glad to inform that Marceli Araujo (Sales), Mayara Lima (Contract) and Glaucia Lopes (Service Delivery Center) take the challenge and applied for Cisco “The Woman Rock-IT Program”. They got the free CCNA course, and their graduations will be held in a formal ceremony in São Paulo.

The Program has the mission to inspire more girls and women to study tech, challenged stereotypes and turned their passion for technology into rewarding and successful careers. 

The Women Rock-IT program provides an informative, educational program throughout the year so that women can connect, thrive, and reach their potential. This program gives insight into the future of IT and all the expansive career opportunities that technology can offer.

 

“Exploring a predominantly male field is a journey that paves the way for gender equality. I believe that women’s empowerment should come through knowledge, breaking stereotypes and inspiring new generations of women in the IT sector”

Marceli Araújo

“CCNA Cisco Women Rock IT promotes female empowerment in technology by developing trainings and opportunities for women to reach their full potential. It is gratifying to be part of a program that encourage women in technology, helping to build a future with more diversity and inclusion in the industry”

Mayara Lima.

We would like to share Glaucia´ Lopes, Telecommunication Specialist, testimony about his experience in technology area:

“I started in the technical area in 2001, as an intern at a multinational company, and since then I have always worked in roles where I was the only woman. For a long time, this seemed normal to me, I didn’t see anything unusual. But times have changed, and, curiously, things haven’t changed that much.

I attend several meetings every day and I am still to be the only woman in the group, explaining complex scenarios and being listened to and respected. Why other women in technology are not in theses important meeting in a protagonism role?

Working with technology is a rewarding challenge that requires courage and resilience. May every woman have the strength to share her knowledge, overcome obstacles and show that her voice and skills are essential to inspire and pave the way for other women in the sector.”

Glaucia Lopes.

We would like to congratulate them and wish all the best on this new step of their careers. Italtel Brazil encourage and support the development of such inspirational women in our organization. 

You rock girls!
