or the past few decades, tech has excluded many of us and women have made up less than 25 percent of the hires in over the past 20 years. That needs to change now if girls are to be part of an inclusive tech workforce. Tech is evolving. It’s no longer boys in Check shirts.

So our programme is led by young girls, we focus on building leadership within individual girls first, including self-confidence, personal accountability and long-term aspirations and we’ll steer it in the right direction to developing and honing in on their skills in research, community organising, goal setting, and effective communication and designed to help them grow professionally and personally.

As part of each Cohort, they’ll be part of a team leading on the issues of Girls in Tech and around access & inclusion. They’ll be developing our monthly Blogs on the progress towards improving access & inclusion for Girls in Tech, and connecting with Women Leaders in tech to share their stories on progressing Girls in Tech through our monthly Podcasts & webinars. Of course, we’ve designed our programme so they’ll build meaningful relationships, access changemakers and take advantage of our internships to find their own place. So whether this is to aid Professional Development by adding a new skill to their resume, or establish early Connections & Guidance by learning and connecting with other professionals or its about future placing for the Right Job, joining the Cohort will add much more value.
