The statistics are clear: the biggest dropout of girls from IT happens right after the 10th grade. At Vinted, we believe this is a challenge worth solving. We’re proud to partner with Lietuvos Junior Achievement on an ambitious new initiative to show students across Lithuania what a career in technology actually looks like. We aren't just talking about the problem; we’re taking action in two key stages: Step 1: School visits. A community of tech professionals from Vinted and other IT companies is returning to the classroom to share their stories, answer questions, and act as real-world role models. Step 2: Shadowing. We’re opening our doors to give students the chance to "shadow" professionals in their daily work, moving from theory to practice. By the end of 2026, we aim to reach 6,000 students. Our goal is to ensure that more ambitious young people—especially girls—see themselves as part of the future of technology. Because when more talent enters the ecosystem, we all win.
