ABOUT US
Our Mission and Vision
At The Women in Tech Coterie, we're dedicated to revolutionising the tech industry by embracing diversity, inclusivity, and innovation across the UK and Switzerland. We recognise the unique challenges women face in this sector, as highlighted in the Tech Talent Charter's report "Attrition in Tech: Why Women Leave Tech Jobs." Our vision is a tech world where women are empowered to thrive and excel in technology, data, engineering, and robotics through alternative accreditation routes and continuous support.
Addressing the Challenges
Despite women representing nearly half the global population, they are under-represented in tech fields like robotics and engineering (19%), and their presence in tech has sadly decreased since 1984. Notably, many women leave tech by age 35, and a significant number often find themselves as the sole woman in professional environments. We understand these challenges and offer tailored solutions to support women through every career phase, including critical life events like marriage, childbirth, and maternity leave. Our presence in both the UK and Switzerland allows us to address these challenges on an international scale, providing broader opportunities for women in tech across different cultural and business environments.
Our Approach and Programmes
We offer flexible, dynamic programs designed to fit various life stages, ensuring no woman misses out on career progression opportunities. Our initiatives range from mentorship with industry experts and targeted career acceleration programs to leadership development and practical, hands-on workshops. We're committed to fostering a supportive, community-driven environment where every member can grow and succeed in their chosen field. With operations in both the UK and Switzerland, we provide unique cross-border networking and development opportunities, enriching our community's diversity and reach.
Our Personalised Career Development and Business Support Services
At The Women in Tech Coterie, we go beyond traditional programs. We work closely with each individual to develop a personalised career development pathway. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills in your current role or transition into the tech sector, we tailor our support to meet your unique needs and aspirations across both our UK and Swiss networks. Our approach is designed not only to foster personal growth but also to aid businesses in addressing their workplace culture, diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and performance issues. These challenges often contribute to high attrition rates and difficulties in attracting talent. By partnering with us, businesses can benefit from our international perspective and expertise in creating inclusive tech environments.
