We’re inspiring young women to join Aotearoa’s fastest growing and highest paid sector — technology.
ShadowTech offers girls in years 9-11 an opportunity to discover the world of tech, spark their curiosity and explore career pathways. Matched with local tech companies, students gain hands-on experiences to imagine their future career, and gain an insight into the varied roles on offer within tech.
Shadowtech has been running since 2014, and is brought to you by TechWomen and NZTech. Techwomen is a group of passionate New Zealand tech, digital and ICT focused individuals from leading organisations that work together, with the support of NZTech, to help address one of the major challenges for the successful growth of technology in New Zealand – a shortage of women in tech roles.
Our work inspires young women to consider careers in technology, supports the growth of women in tech roles and helps develop policy and actions for improving diversity in the tech workplace.
