ACS / Social Impact / Gender Parity
While 50% of tech users are women, the percentage of women contributing to the development of tech is far less. Creating a more equal and inclusive industry will minimise the skilled talent shortage, meet social responsibilities and realise more innovative ideas from a wider pool of brilliant minds.
ACS Conversation Circles is an event series hosted by Jo Stewart-Rattray and Sabina Gruetzner, ACS Vice President of Communities and ACS Strategic Initiative Executive respectively.
The nationwide series brings together women in tech to discuss the challenges and triumphs of their careers. Jo and Sabina are using the meetings as research, listening to women’s experiences before making recommendations to the ACS Management Committee.
ACS also advises members and their respective companies on ways to help end gender disparity, including:
ACS has also partnered with TechDiversity – a social enterprise that aims to diversify workforces to be more representative of society. This is particularly important for gender parity in the tech sector, where the tech usage versus tech design gender gap is considerable.
The ACS TechDiversity partnership has been created to help ACS members introduce greater diversity in their companies and organisations.
The TechDiversity team will introduce the TechDiversity Academy and explain course outcomes for ACS members.
TechDiversity facilitators will deliver three diversity modules to equip ACS members with the strategies to implement diversity practices.
ACS members receive an exclusive 15% discount on all TechDiversity courses.
TechDiversity offers three platforms to help people create organisational change through education, implementation and acknowledgement.
