Business Case

 

WiT22 (Women in Tech) Business Case

The conference will offer help and understanding into some issues women face in IT including: 
  • regaining and maintaining confidence 
  • conscious raising 
  • difficulties with increasing diversification 
  • insights from female leaders

It will be an opportunity for all people to gather and talk with their peers and leaders in their field and to discuss formally and informally these problems. 

Given the issues with keeping and recruiting IT staff throughout the HE sector, increasing diversification and developing our existing staff has become even more urgent. As such, I'd like to attend the conference to maximise my potential for personal development but also the benefit of our institution. Equally importantly, I want to gain insights to help my colleagues and team mates to do the same. I hope to improve my knowledge around the latest developments with regards to encouraging diversification and the benefits it brings.
