Women Connect
We believe that everyone deserves a chance to succeed in the exciting and dynamic field of IT, regardless of their gender, background, or nationality. Unfortunately, women are currently extremely underrepresented in IT, which is why we’re here to encourage more women coming from a migrant or refugee background, to consider a career in IT.
We have developed a series of interactive workshops, aiming to create a safe space to spark a fire amongst women to develop their interest in IT. Are you curious or interested to learn more about the IT industry? Would you like to see if you have a talent for IT? Do you want to hear insights from women in tech? Then check the dates below and sign up for the Women Connect Workshops! Sign ups due before Friday 18 October 2024.
