G&TT (girls and tech of tomorrow!)

The UK tech ecosystem is currently valued at over £800 billion*, showing no signs of slowing down! Across the UK, the average salary in tech is £62,000* with entry level roles paying up to £35,000.

Currently men dominate the industry, making up over 75% of the UK tech workforce. We want to change this…

… Enter G&TT (girls and tech of tomorrow!).

The G&TT day is designed for girls aged between 18-25 who are unsure of their future career plans (let’s face it, if you’re in this age bracket and know what career you want to do, you’re in the minority!).

Whether you’re actively pursuing a role in tech or literally have no idea about what tech entails, G&TT welcomes everyone from all backgrounds and experiences. Don’t have a degree? No problem! We want a wonderful, diverse cohort of girls from different backgrounds who can contribute from different perspectives. All we ask is that you have an open mind and a fabulous, positive attitude.

Agenda:

• Coffee, networking & intros (this is a small event with around 25 girls, so hopefully not too intimidating!)
• Team building games
• Career workshops, including: How to build an effective LinkedIn profile, CV writing, how to ace an interview (virtual/ f2f) and building a personal brand.
• Lunch
• Senior volunteers from our G&T (girls and tech!) community delivering short, engaging and relatable presentations on the varying roles in tech, including: Cyber, Engineering, Data, Testing, Product and Business Analysis
• G&T’s and introductions to local businesses who offer graduate schemes/ apprenticeships and tech academies

This event is hosted by the friendly team at G. Digital | G&T (girls and tech!), who are on a mission to educate girls about the varying roles in tech.
