Fintech Founder Bridges Gender Gap in STEM Through Mentor, Student Programs

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- According to Axios, less than 10% of all fintech companies worldwide are founded or co-founded by women.1 As a female business owner in the fintech sector, Monica Eaton, founder and CEO of Chargebacks911, has seen this gender disparity firsthand, largely attributing it to a lack of senior-level female mentors available to foster the next generation of women in tech. This problem exists in many STEM-related fields. In 2023, women comprise only 24% of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce in the United States.2 To help break this stigma, Eaton is lending her platform and voice to create growth opportunities for women of all ages to break down these barriers through her LIFT and Paid for Grades programs.

Key Points:

As a pioneer and industry leader in the fintech space, Monica Eaton, founder and CEO of Chargebacks911, has been a relentless advocate for bridging the gender divide within STEM.
LIFT provides mentorship, guidance, and networking opportunities to women, empowering them to break through pre-conceived barriers and thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field.
Mentors were rewarded $400 each, and schools earned $100 per student for programs and supplies.
By investing in the education, mentorship, and empowerment of youth and women, we are building a more inclusive and innovative future for fintech.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women are 23 percent more likely to drop out of STEM fields in college, yet inherently embody strengths such as empathy and collaboration needed by corporations in tech industries. The time to inspire young girls and begin to train on the values of STEM fields is during elementary and middle school; not waiting for college, notes Monica Eaton, Paid for Grades founder and Chargebacks911 CEO.

Key Points:

They are less likely to be promoted and are less present in corporate leadership and technical roles in STEM industries.
As role models, successful women in STEM are finding value in interacting with young girls in elementary and middle school to inspire an interest in math, science and computer technology before they reach high school.
Eaton wants to ensure that bright young women enter a college classroom with confidence, surrounded by other girls.

Certified TB12 Body Coaches are collaborating on the courseware development and will also be directly involved with training for PCS physical education instructors, athletic coaches, and administrators. Following a successful pilot program, the revised curriculum is scheduled to roll out to every middle school and high school by the 2023-24 school year.
