Given the history of gender/race in the workforce, it is no surprise that women and people of colour are less likely to achieve high-level or management positions in the tech industry. What is interesting is that women tend to score higher than men when being tested on their digital skills.

It makes you wonder, are women and people of colour turned away from these roles intentionally in order to maintain a heteronormative environment? Or could it be that they are simply not conditioned to express their confidence and leadership skills in the same way that most (white) males are, affecting their ability to break through the barriers of the low to mid-level workforce.
