BCS Women in IT (2014)

In May 2014, we ran a month long campaign to encourage women of all ages, from young students to women returners, to consider a career in IT and join the profession.

Throughout the month, 30 influential women in IT volunteered to act as role models and, through blogs and video interviews, shared their stories and thoughts about the profession.
