The assessment of career needs and development programs of female technology talents

The position of females in the job market has become more important than ever. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the subjects and issues of females developed in the science and technology field had also received more concerns than before. However, females still encountered many frustrations on their works in the field of scientific research and career histories. Within the science and engineering (S&E) fields, the actual contributions and potentials of female talents are often ignored. In analyzing the major reasons of this issue, it has been discovered that there still remained lots of barriers in the developments of the female careers and their career need haven´t been satisfied. This research studies the career development path of female technology talents in academic field and industry field respectively. Base on literature review and interview, it divides the careers of the female technology talents into the stages of the exploration, establishment, maintenance, and disengagement. Besides, this study evaluates the cognition about received supports from government, society, organization and family and compares the gap and difference between the career needs and the career development support programs. This paper proposes improvement suggestions aiming at dispelling such gap for those female technology talents who have received higher education or obtained scientific specialties to continuously elaborate their specialties in the S&E fields.
