This spirit motivates her to continue growing and developing personally .
“ I believe it is our duty , as women , to continue responding to the call for professionalization among young professionals . In this sense , I can say that the MEXDC association has launched a pilot scholarship program for young people who want to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for the data center industry and 75 % of the scholarships were given to women .
“ This reflects an important shift : women are starting to take an interest in technology and specialize in areas considered to be dominated by men . Not only is this inspiring , but it also reminds us that we must open our minds to all opportunities for development . The data center industry is growing at a breakneck pace and will need diverse talent to meet the challenges of AI , the 5G network , and the metaverse ,” said Cerecedo .
