Session Overview
Why must employers look to hire career switchers and women entering into the tech workforce later in life? By 2025 there will be 1 qualified woman for every 115 jobs in software, cyber, AI and machine learning. Career switchers are a valuable resource that could provide a real opportunity to address the global tech labour crisis and improve gender equality in technology. Further to this, 50% of women in tech leave their jobs before the age of 35. Our report finds that a huge 81% of women would stay in their roles if they were given the opportunity to upskill. It is key to consider that retaining female talent.
Since the global pandemic, Code First Girls have seen the number of women who are retraining in technology increase by 124%. What is driving this trend? And how can we all benefit from it?
