Tracy Agomgamah Awuni, currently enrolled in a web development training program, has noted that mastering the tech demands significant time and effort. Despite initial difficulties, she finds the learning process rewarding.
Ms. Awuni’s journey into tech began with a foundational understanding of web development and a strong passion for mathematics, which she found interconnected with technology concepts.
According to her, her interest in technology was sparked by a curiosity about computing devices. “Anytime I see any I.T device like a computer or mobile phone, I always want to know what is really in that particular tool.”
Although she initially pursued a short programming course without a firm commitment to a tech career, the experience solidified her resolve to explore the field further. “Even though I love to dive more into tech, I didn’t have it in my mind solely that I was really really going to go tech. But when I went for that program, I made up my mind that the program would determine whether I will really go into tech or not.”
She highlighted how she sought additional online courses but faced financial constraints until she discovered an opportunity with Louis Marie Ayariga’s training program.
She highlighted her commitment to her training and acknowledges that success in tech requires perseverance and dedication. “If you really want to do something, you have to put your mind to it, you have to put your efforts into it, you need to put energy into it to be able to get it.”
She advises other women considering tech careers to be prepared for a gradual path to success and stresses the importance of integrating Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education into curricula and providing better support for STEM educators. “I’d like to say that it all boils down to the avenues that are being put in place for women in tech. They should incorporate more of STEM into our curriculum.” “They should also try and educate teachers who teach subjects related to STEM.”
She further encouraged women having interest in Tech careers to tune to the mindset that success in this field requires patience, sustained effort, and a readiness to embrace the long-term nature of career development. “Before you go there as a lady, tune your mind. Know that this is going to take some time before the benefits come.”
“It’s broad. It’s not something that is small that you can learn within a couple of months,” she said this recently on ‘Equal Voices’ on A1 Radio.
