Women Rock - A Voice For Diversity In Tech. Details
So here it goes, my name is Alicia, an IT recruiter from Bristol, Yes you heard it, I'm a recruiter. I hope you soon get to realise that we are not all the same but I won't bore you with any blah blah blah about why I'm different because I'm just me. This isn't about me, well some of it is, but this is for all the women in IT, this is for you and this is for us. Over the last 4 years, I have been a huge supporter for women in the tech scene but always felt I could do so much more, and this is the start of my more. I have the backing of some of the South West's best companies who are supporting this with me and you're all invited to join.This is the industry from a woman's perspective I spend my days speaking to women both in and out of work, students, entrepreneurs and also companies about what they are doing to attract, retain and promote female talent in the South West. On a positive note, there is some great stuff going on already in the South West and I want to use this platform to share and promote that. I am a woman in technology and I also work in a male dominated environment, albeit in a slightly different capacity being IT recruitment. I want to create a community of strong ass women in Bristol, a city that champions diversity. I will be speaking with different companies to investigate and showcase what they are doing to help attract, retain and promote women within their business. As I said earlier, there is a lot of really good stuff going on locally, I just don't think we are sharing it and shouting about it enough so that others can follow suit.Lets pull together and start a South West movement. I know there's a huge network of women in tech in the South West and I am confident if we are working together and shouting loud enough we can transform the industry and create a positive movement.Please join the group, please add all of your female colleagues, if you have a story to share then let's hear it.WELCOME TO WOMEN ROCK.
