DSIT have released a consultation which aims to examine the impact of emerging technologies on women’s participation, progression, and leadership in tech.
Your insight will help the Women in Tech Taskforce to design, scope, and deliver what works and what needs to change, as the sector evolves.
The Taskforce are particularly interested in:
- Evidence from schemes or initiatives that respondents have experienced or implemented which have supported greater participation, progression, or leadership of women and other under represented groups in tech. Understanding how these initiatives were designed, scoped, and delivered will help the Taskforce identify what works, and what needs to change, as the sector evolves.
- Understanding where and how emerging technologies are reshaping entry pathways, early‑career opportunities, and the factors- educational, organisational, financial that support or hinder women and under‑represented groups entering the sector.
- Identifying the organisational, cultural, and skills development conditions that influence retention, including how emerging technologies affect roles and examining which interventions most effectively support long term career development and advancement, and where targeted action in the talent pipeline can best improve progression for women and under‑represented groups.
- Assessing whether existing and proposed schemes aimed at broadening access to tech careers remain relevant and effective in the context of a changing landscape.
