Abstract

The software industry is suffering from a widespread labour shortage and, at the same time, universities have not been able to react and provide enough skilled talents for the field. A wide selection of actions has been focused into getting more women for the STEM industries. However, the results have not been as efficient that would have hoped for. This study addresses the question how high-educated women perceive the attractiveness of software engineering studies. The data for the paper is collected with an open internet survey (n=134) from Finnish women who have already done or are planning to make a career change to the software industry. The attitudes towards new and old modes of learning and education are surveyed. This study shows that women perceive industry as attractive and value university education, yet there are overabundance of offering in entry-level training courses and lack of advanced studies. The university education is perceived to be rigid and old-fashioned.

软件工程研究芬兰高学历女性跳槽的吸引力
软件行业正遭受劳动力普遍短缺的困扰,与此同时,大学也未能做出反应,为该领域提供足够的熟练人才。各种各样的行动都集中在让更多的女性进入STEM行业。然而,结果并没有像预期的那样有效。这项研究解决了受过高等教育的女性如何感知软件工程研究的吸引力的问题。本文的数据是通过一项公开的互联网调查(n=134)收集的,调查对象是已经或正在计划转行进入软件行业的芬兰女性。调查了对新旧学习和教育模式的态度。这项研究表明,女性认为工业有吸引力,重视大学教育,但初级培训课程过多,高等教育缺乏。大学教育被认为是僵化和过时的。
