Women in IT Scorecard 2014 (e-skills-UK and BCS)

Recent data from e-skills and the British Computer Society in the Women in IT Scorecard shows that across the UK women make up 16% of specialist IT roles.

Wales is in fact doing slightly better than the UK average with 19% of IT specialists being women.

these women, and encourage others to join them for better pay and prospects.
