The technology sector is perceived as predominantly male, with many women feeling tech jobs are ‘not for them’. This lack of diversity will continue to be a problem until the stereotype is challenged.
The BBC’s Women in Tech event during London Technology Week aimed to do exactly that by inviting women with tech skills to meet team leaders and hiring managers from across the BBC’s Design and Engineering division.
The BBC Academy’s Keeren Flora went along to find out about the different pathways into the industry and what is being done to encourage more women to pursue technology careers.
In this podcast you will find out about:
pathways into different technology careers,
Graduate software developer Tamsin Green describes how her route into technology included gaining confidence in her skills.
Toby Mildon, diversity lead for BBC Design and Engineering, takes us through what is being done to increase the variety of people entering the BBC.
Plus, hiring managers Laura Rowley and Pius Bozumbil explain what they look for in a candidate.
