Despite the impressive projected growth of the technology industry, the vast majority of computer science jobs will be pursued and filled by men. Many young women are unaware of the plethora of jobs available and the opportunities to make a real difference. As a result, too many highly desired talents are being lost. For professionals already in the field, women can be role models in the workplace. |
Our organisation partners with companies in the tech industry to run interfaith coding courses for young women from single faith schools.
The Purpose of these programmes is to train and inspire young women for future employment in the high-tech field, and to bring people from across diverse faith backgrounds together in order to increase diversity and gender balance in the IT field. |
