Next Tech Girls is an initiative brought to you by Empiric with an aim of sustainability and strategically increasing the number of women in technology by securing meaningful tech work experience for girls.
1.46 Million people are employed within the technology sector in the UK and only 17% of them are women. We want to help change this.
Companies are increasingly recognising the value of diversity, leading to tactical solutions of hiring more women. This often results in merely moving existing talent around, shifting the problem from one company to another and having no long term impact.
There is a need and opportunity for strategic and early intervention.
