What makes our partnership approach different
Support that spans from university to career
Unlike programmes that focus only on university recruitment or early career development, we provide consistent support across the critical 10-year period from education through career establishment. This approach addresses the key transition points where research shows women often leave technology careers.
Real measurement, not just compelling stories
Whilst we celebrate individual achievements, we back them with solid data. Our framework tracks both immediate results and long-term career paths, giving you clear evidence that your investment creates lasting change for women in technology across the UK & Ireland.
Communities that help women stay and thrive in tech
Our approach builds meaningful connections that help women overcome challenges throughout their technology careers. Beyond training or job placement, we create support networks that develop both professional skills and personal resilience—addressing the real reasons women leave the industry.
Women have made large gains in women’s power and influence in the workplace; however, our research shows that women are more likely to face barriers and make tough trade-offs when advancing in their careers. We are thrilled to provide the necessary funding to support organizations who are helping to remove those barriers so women can thrive at work.
