Who we are
UCISA's Women in Tech Community highlights the success of women already working in IT roles in HE and FE. The Community offers opportunities to network and share experiences and challenges as well as identifying best practice approaches to improving diversity.
What we do
The Community aims to encourage more women to consider technology-related careers in the sector and creates networking opportunities, both physical and virtual, for women to share experiences and challenges as well as promoting the IT work undertaken by women in the sector.
