The tech industry is where innovation meets creativity. This industry is at the forefront of embracing diversity and inclusion. It is no secret that for any industry to thrive, it must reflect and embrace the wider society at large. This is particularly true when considering the potential of the 7.7 million disabled people of working age (DWP) in the UK, a significant yet underemployed talent pool that could add immense value to the tech ecosystem.

LIFT as we Climb Leadership Summit: A Recap

Oct 19, 2023 12:01:01 PM

It's not news that the Tech Talent Charter (TTC) is on a mission to bring together organisations to drive greater diversity and inclusion in the world of technology. We firmly believe that through intentional action, we can arrest the current trend of women leaving the tech workforce.

And that’s why leading tech brands are coming together to bring that intentionality and orientation towards action to life.
