London Tech Week Event – Women in TECHNOLOGY

Please join us for an evening of talks, networking and wine to launch our new initiative: #CodingAllowed – aimed at ensuring women are equipped with the correct knowledge and tools to break into the technology industry.

Our objective at Nicoll Curtin is to support socially responsible, equal and diverse global workforces. As detailed in our recent whitepaper, women occupy a mere 6% of engineering positions and only 12 % information and communication technology roles within the UK. Of 100 female bachelor students, 12 graduate with as STEM major but only 3 continue to work in STEM fields 10 years after graduation.

This event offers an opportunity for women interested in a career in tech to meet a host of inspiring senior women in technology from a range of FTSE 100 organisations. Ask questions, explore a variety of career options, seek advice, make connections.
