"People across all levels in the tech sector need to be visible and accessible so people looking in on the industry, hoping for a tech role, can see the next steps they need to take, rather than only seeing those at the top who, although amazing, may make a tech role seem unobtainable to those at the beginning of their career."
"With thousands of women leaving the technology sector each year, it's increasingly important to encourage more women to enter the industry and create an inclusive culture of growth for those already in it. Each year, alongside its top 50 women in UK tech and Hall of Fame, Computer Weekly showcases several Rising Stars, women the team and judges believe will feature in the top 50 in the future."
Role models exist across all levels of technology and every woman in a tech or digital role can inspire others to enter the industry. Visible and accessible people at different career stages help newcomers see practical next steps rather than only aspirational leaders. Thousands of women leave the technology sector each year, increasing urgency to attract more entrants and foster an inclusive culture that supports growth and retention. An annual Most Influential Women in UK Tech list and Hall of Fame recognize leaders while a Rising Stars list highlights emerging talent. Recent Rising Stars include Molly Johnson-Jones, founder and CEO of Flexa Careers, and Naomi McGregor, founder of MoveTru.
