PHILIPPINES – In a tech industry that’s rapidly becoming more inclusive, empowering women with advanced technical skills and strong mentorship is essential to closing the gender gap in the tech landscape. With access to the right tools, women leaders can thrive individually and help shape a more dynamic and equitable digital future. This was one of the main highlights from the recently held Women Up Top Masterclass launched by GCash, the country’s leading finance app and the largest cashless ecosystem.
The full-day event brought together 30 participants who completed certifications in Agile 101 and AI/ML Workflow and AutoML. Both courses were led by women leaders within the GCash tech teams, reflecting the company’s dedication to internal mentorship and representation.
While significant strides have been made to help improve representation, women in tech still encounter structural challenges, including fewer opportunities for mentorship, limited access to advanced training, and underrepresentation in leadership. By equipping women with essential technical skills and leadership tools, the program underscored GCash’s commitment to fostering a more inclusive and future-ready digital workforce.
