Women in Tech UK x Le Wagon - Panel Discussion

⭐⭐Registration required on Eventbrite⭐⭐

Format: 45 min Panel Discussion • 15 min Q&A • Networking drinks

Join us for our Female Panel Discussion about the underrepresentation of women, diversity & inclusivity in the technology industry in collaboration with Women in Tech! 🔥

It's a well-known fact that women often don't consider technology as a possible career path as there is not enough information given on what working in the sector involves and society is rarely putting it forward as an option to them.

The lack of female role models is also reinforcing the perception that a career in technology is not an option for them. Only 22% of students are able to name a famous woman working in technology, whereas two third can name a famous man working in technology, and one quarter of female students say they decided against a career in technology as it’s too male dominated (Source: PWC)
