At WithYouWithMe, we are firmly committed to levelling up participation of women in the tech workforce.

Supporting more women to start a tech career

Explore our program

WithYouWithMe’s Women in Tech Program aims to help more women realise the potential they have to excel at a rewarding technology career.

Currently, women only hold between 17 – 27%* of roles in the tech sector (*average rate across the markets in which we operate).

We are firmly focussed on levelling this number up by increasing female participation in the tech workforce.

WithYouWithMe helps women overcome traditional barriers to employment and break into high-paying, high-demand tech roles by providing free role matching, tech training and job placement.

Whether you are new to technology or already a tech professional, our aim is to give you the opportunity to find a tech career that rewards you and allows you to create a meaningful impact.

How it works

The first step is to take our online self-paced assessments, which will generate a comprehensive report covering your unique skills, aptitude, learning style and ideal cultural fit.

From there, we’ll recommend some high-demand tech roles you would naturally excel at – and give you access to our free, industry accredited training.

You can speak to a member of our team or one of our female tech leaders at any time for personal support and guidance.

Finally, once you have completed your training, we have a global network of like-minded partners who are looking to employ talent just like you into their teams – and we’ll guide you through this process.

If you are ready to see what tech roles await you, sign up to our Women in Tech Program.
