Indeco by Nexans and Sonepar award 20 scholarships from the "I am a woman, I am an electrician" program

• The initiative will give a group of 20 women access to a free training program that will qualify them to perform basic domestic electrical installation work.
• In Peru, only 29% of women choose a profession related to technology, science, or mathematics.

A group of twenty young women received a full scholarship to participate in the "I am a woman, and an Electrician" training program. Senati, the higher educational institution, and the companies Indeco by Nexans and Sonepar have jointly carried out this initiative to give students the opportunity to access, completely free of charge, a training program that will allow them to undertake basic domestic electrical installation work.

According to a study conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in Peru only 29% of women choose a profession related to technology, science, or mathematics. As such, the program seeks to contribute to empowering women in a predominantly male environment. Furthermore, "I am a woman, and an Electrician" looks to enable graduate women to perform a profession that allows them to generate their own income, and in that way they can contribute to their family and their personal growth.
