About the challenge
According to Harvard Business Review, women tend to apply for jobs only when they meet 100% of the qualifications, while men apply at 60%.
The Challenge: Design a tool, program, or campaign that empowers young women to take action before they feel “completely ready.”
Think About:
- Peer-to-peer platforms or mentor matching
- Confidence-tracking apps
- Workshops that reframe what “qualified” really means
- Gamified job application/selection
