Fewer women employed than men in AV
November 30, 2007 | Audio Visual
It’s good to see that the University of Salford are making use of their time with the Women in Audio Visual Engineering project (WAVE)
They’ve done a survey to find out why more women don’t work in the AV sector.
They’ve spent 12 months on this.
“Typically, audio-video jobs involve working at night in either a freelance role or for a small company” said WAVE project leader Dr Haifa Takruri-Rizk, of the University of Salford’s school of computing, science and engineering. “In the north west 91 per cent of companies employ fewer than five people. For many women with families this isn’t what they are looking for in a career.”
I know women who work in audio and audio visual roles and they’re good at their jobs. Probably because they don’t spend 12 months asking people what they think.
