Synopsis
Join us in a gathering where IT and Civil Service professionals from BAME backgrounds will explore the intersect of Black identity, professional excellence in IT and the journey of resilience and empowerment in tech leadership.
The panel will share details of their individual career journeys, unpack some myths about the tech/digital career sector within both public and private sectors as well as welcoming questions from the audience to ensure attendees receive real wisdom that they can apply wherever they are in their journeys.
