Women in Technology
This site contains news relevant to women working in IT, lists IT jobs and provides advice on careers in IT. There are training sessions and events listings on the site. Some of these may be of more relevance to individuals already working in the field and looking to develop their career rather than those looking to enter the profession. However, there are networking events and courses that may appeal to those interested in working in information technology. Clicking on the tab for 'graduates' gives access to information on graduate recruitment schemes and IT related careers advice. Within the careers advice section you can find advice on CVs, cover letters, applications, interviews and networking. There are also a number of job descriptions listed under 'IT career paths' and career case studies of women working in IT under 'role models'.
