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
