#SmashTheStereotype At Next Tech Girls we inspire today's girls in education to become tomorrow's women in technology. In 2022 just 26% of people working in the UK tech industry are women. Next Tech Girls was set up to tackle this underrepresentation at the grassroots level. We partner with companies and educational institutions to deliver tech-focused events, training and work placements for teenage girls. By providing them with hands-on experience and insights into the opportunities available 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. Since 2016 we've worked with more than 100 schools and 40 companies to provide 350+ girls with experience of a career in tech. Our ambition is to inspire 10,000 girls around the world by 2030.
