Join We Are PoWEr and Manchester Airports Group for "Bridging the Gap: Creating Clear Career Pathways into Tech"
Technology careers are full of opportunity, but access to those opportunities isn’t always equal. In this honest and practical conversation, hosted by Simone Roche MBE, we explore how organisations can build clearer, more inclusive pathways into tech for underrepresented groups.
Our guests bring diverse experience across leadership, transformation, and community-building, and together, we’ll uncover what it really takes to break down barriers, design accessible upskilling programmes, and create cultures where people feel confident making career transitions.
Whether you're growing your own tech career, supporting others, designing inclusive pathways, or just starting to explore if tech could be for you, this session offers stories, insights, and practical tools to help you take action.
Webinar Themes:
- Breaking down barriers to tech careers
- Designing clear, accessible career pathways
- Upskilling and internal mobility that works for everyone
- The power of mentorship, sponsorship, and networks
- Building confidence through community
- Tools and frameworks for equitable progression
- Championing inclusive tech cultures
