Due to the impact of COVID-19 this event has been changed to an online webinar

WISE’s analysis has shown that the number of women in technology roles poses a concern with women representing only 16% of IT professionals; a figure that has remained static for 10 years. With the skills shortages in this area, WISE works with our member organisations to support the recruitment, development and retention of more women in technology roles with the aim of making progress in this area.

WISE members will share best practice on how they have successfully delivered in house training programmes, bootcamps, higher apprenticeships and more. Plus, you’ll hear personal experiences from women who have changed careers and moved into technology and the positive impact that this has had on their progression.

This WISE member webinar will be of interest to organisations who want to find out more about delivering a successful in-house training programme and/or those who are keen to hear about the opportunities available through training schemes and apprenticeships.
