We are TECwomen CIC
TECwomen CIC are a non-profit organisation that builds workforce development programmes, events, and services to help women and girls build the future.
We work with 3,000 girls, 100 women, and over 60 schools every year.
TECwomen CIC is driven by the positive impact we create through our work in rural and coastal communities. Central to our work is our collaboration with more than 50 employers across the technology, engineering, and creative sectors to develop innovative programmes that support their future workforce needs. Our work ranges from online anytime courses for women and underrepresented genders to huge community events and festivals for over 2,000 people. We've also pioneered new approaches to education outreach and teacher CPD, specifically focused on creating change in the far South West. At the core of what we do is helping women and girls to connect with the industries building the future including AI, Cyber Security, Geo Resources, Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace and Eco Energy.
We build communities, we build confidence, and we build future workforces.
