OUR STORY

Next Tech Girls is an award-winning social enterprise set up by tech recruitment agency Empiric in 2016 to tackle the skills and gender gaps in the UK tech industry at a grassroots level.

We partner with leading companies to run online and in-person events, insight days and work experience placements, to inspire teenage girls and young women to pursue future careers in tech, with a particular focus on those from ethnic minority or lower income backgrounds.

By showcasing diverse women in tech as relatable role models and giving girls hands-on experience and insights into a career in tech at a critical age, when studies show their interest tends to drop off, we are shaping their futures and the future of the tech industry.
