TECH(K)NOW DAY has been organised to provide a place and venue for anyone who identifies as a woman to go and learn new skills (see details below).   This is in keeping with this year’s International Women’s Day theme –#BeBoldForChange.

WHAT’S IN STORE?

HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
Throughout the day, there will be a whole range of hands-on workshopsavailable for both –

– complete beginners (for you to explore what’s out there that you could be learning and find out for yourself if coding is for you)

– experienced developers (for you to explore other technologies/languages you might currently not be familiar with, for example – machine learning, AI, graph databases, AngularJS, messaging bots and a whole range of other topics).

There will also be a separate track for talks, so if you are not in one of the workshops above, you can listen to interesting talks and speakers about

• Tech topics (current and emerging)
• Personal Development
• Career Development
• Diversity / Inclusivity / Unconscious Bias

We particularly want to highlight the talk on Career Development(don’t miss it!), where you’ll learn about

• Salary negotiation for women (including talks about new regulations coming up on equal pay)
• Confidently applying for a job you don’t have ALL the skills for (yet)
  
• Areas you should consider developing skills in
  
• Presenting yourself well in interview
• How to get the most out of your relationship with your recruiter
• Re entering the workforce after a break
• Making your CV stand out

CAREER HUB
