WISE, the campaign for greater gender balance in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), has launched a survey on people’s experiences of routes into relevant careers.
The Researching the Tech Landscape in 2021 Survey is intended as a first step in supporting employers to close the digital skills gap between genders.
It aims to quantify the different routes into tech based on age, gender, nationality and other characteristics, and will identify the current landscape, educational qualifications that tech employees have and need, training requirements and best practice on finding untapped pools of talent.
