Joining the Tech Talent Charter
In January, 2024 we committed to the Tech Talent Charter, a collective effort among signatory organizations to enhance diversity and inclusion in the UK’s tech workforce.
Addressing the UK’s Diversity Dilemma
- The UK tech sector faces a significant ‘diversity dilemma’, as highlighted in Tech Nation’s report.
- Statistics from the Tech Talent Charter reveal the extensive work needed to eliminate inequality.
The Current Landscape: A Statistical Overview
- Only 16% of UK IT professionals are female, with a mere 10% of females taking A-Level computer studies.
- 14% of the UK working population is BAME, yet only 8.5% hold senior tech sector roles.
- Despite 19% of the UK workforce having a disability, just 9% of IT specialists in the UK are disabled.
