FIT’s Women Choose Tech apprenticeship program builds on the non-profit’s previous work to encourage diversity in Ireland’s tech industry.
Non-profit Fastrack into IT (FIT) is on a mission to grow Ireland’s tech talent pipeline and provide people traditionally underserved by the higher education system with career opportunities, training and apprenticeships.
Its latest apprenticeship program focuses on increasing women’s involvement in the tech industry – a sector that has long suffered from a lack of diversity.
FIT established its Women Choose Tech apprenticeship program this year specifically for women who want to get into the industry or further their career. The goal is to attain 33pc female participation in tech apprenticeships in Ireland by 2022.
The program aims to build on partnerships with tech and other employers to encourage the recruitment of women apprentices in technology roles, provide supports for applicants considering a tech apprenticeship, and increase awareness of the opportunities available.
