Women Love Tech Launches Digital Community Hub With A Mentoring Platform And Video Courses - Foyster Media

With pride, Women Love Tech (WLT) announces the opening of its brand-new online Community Hub. Members of this platform, which includes the WLT sisterhood, mentors, coaches, brands, courses, content, and more, can live, learn, grow, and connect with one another here. For a $10 monthly fee, individuals can become a part of the new WLT Community Hub, which aims to promote growth in Australia as well as internationally in places like the USA, UK, and India. The digital platform, which costs $10 a month, will help more women pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Women Love Tech launched over ten years ago and has a rich community of women, who are all poised and ready to start or accelerate their careers in technology and I am proud that we are going to be supporting these women,” says Robyn Foyster, Editor and Owner of Women Love Tech

“We have always supported women in tech by profiling female leaders in business and sharing stories that matter to women from diversity and inclusion to the prevalence of unconscious bias in AI. Now, through our flagship initiative this year we will launch our first Community Hub including Women Learn Tech, which has been designed to enable our community to connect and learn from leaders and experts in the tech industry. Everyone will be able to take part in both paid and free bite-sized tutorials at any time so that they can upskill, and improve their confidence.

“Along with our course programmes, our mentorship platform will enable our community to tap into the collective wisdom of our mentors and provide the opportunity for men or women to be a mentor. We need more women taking up roles in the tech industry and this is a gateway for women to get more involved.”

Women Love Tech is looking for key partnerships with companies and universities alike to come on this journey with us. We are also inviting future mentors to contact us on editor@womenlovetech.

Here in Australia, we have a serious tech skills shortage and yet we have a gender imbalance of women working in the STEM fields. In spite of this, the opportunities here for women are endless, not to mention well paid often with flexible hours.

Here are some not-so-fun facts:

Only 28% of people working in tech identify as women

Only 5% of CEOs of ASX 200 companies are women

Women founders got only 0.7% of start-up funding in 2022

And, just to ram home a painful reality, did you know it will take 136 years to close the gender pay gap?

“At Women Love Tech, we are trying to do something about those stats – and it motivates our every decision, because THIS story needs telling – and transforming! And we plan to do that through our new mentoring and video course platform,” adds Robyn.

“This initiative is coming late April – and already we are being inundated by those who are interested in in getting started and being part of our new Community Hub.”
