The Australian tech industry is at a crossroads. With a growing demand for digital skills and innovation, the sector is poised for significant growth. However, despite this potential, women remain underrepresented, holding only 28% of tech jobs and a mere 16% of leadership positions. This disparity not only hinders the industry's progress but also perpetuates a broader societal issue – the lack of diversity and inclusion.
Her Tech Circle, a volunteer-led organization, is determined to change this narrative. Born from the ashes of Girls in Tech Australia, Her Tech Circle is committed to empowering women in tech, fostering a supportive community, and facilitating career progression. Our vision is to create a movement that revolutionizes the Australian tech industry, making it more inclusive, diverse, and equitable.
A Call to Action
We cannot afford to wait for change to happen organically. The tech industry's future depends on our collective efforts to address the systemic barriers preventing women from succeeding. Her Tech Circle is dedicated to:
Providing a supportive community that encourages women to share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs
Facilitating career progression through mentorship, training, and networking opportunities
Advocating for policy changes and industry practices that promote diversity and inclusion
Empowering Women, Empowering Tech
Our movement is built on the belief that empowering women in tech is essential to driving innovation and growth. By creating a platform for women to thrive, we can:
Increase the number of women in tech leadership positions
Foster a culture of inclusivity, creativity, and collaboration
Develop solutions that cater to diverse needs and perspectives
The Time is Now
The Australian tech industry is ripe for change. Her Tech Circle is committed to leading this revolution, and we invite you to be part of it. Let us work together to create a future where women in tech can thrive, lead, and contribute to industry advancements. Join the movement today and help us shape a brighter future for Australian tech.
