It also is an opportunity for you to engage and showcase your companies opportunities to these wāhine.

Why Sisters in Tech?

Recent research shows that less than three percent of the tech workforce are Pacific people and just four percent are Māori. Meanwhile, only 27 percent of the tech sector are female.

We know there is a tech job to suit everyone. As the demand for digital skills remains high, we need to ensure Māori and Pacific women are supported in pursuing tech careers.    

Sisters in Tech provides an opportunity for wāhine to establish and secure a new career. Participating companies and organisations will also benefit from having a targeted approach enabling them to reach a wide demographic of the labour market from school leavers through to more mature wāhine.
