Facebook & LinkedIn Join to Support Women in Tech

In an effort to get more women involved in the study of technology, Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and chief executive of LinkedIn Jeffrey Weiner are currently introducing tech-centered support programs to many college campuses. The purpose of these programs is to encourage women to pursue jobs in the tech industry and ultimately at Sandberg and Weiner's companies, which as of last year employed only 15 and 17 percent women respectively for tech-related positions.
