IT's not just for the boys!

Building on the success of previous events we are very pleased that IT's not just for the boys! will be happening again, this time within the financial sector.

Taking place on 22 June 2012 the event is designed to inspire and educate first-year female undergraduates on the opportunities available to use technology skills within the financial sector. Learn about internships and placements alongside discussions on topical issues in the sector and the experiences of successful females, and gain an overview of the application and interview process to raise awareness on how to be a successful candidate.

Here are the thoughts of previous attendees of IT’s not just for the boys!:
