23.01.2022 Diversity and inclusion in the tech sector can be the greatest driver of Australia's productivity but building a diverse tech sector remains a challenge. ACS aims to support and inform ICT businesses on D&I, helping to grow a happier, healthier and more productive ICT sector. To achieve this, we've released 2 reference guides on diversity and inclusion. Targeted at small and medium ICT businesses in Australia, these guides provide practical and actionable guidelines to begin ...or continue developing workplace D&I. We invite you to use these reference guides to commence or advance your D&I journey and deliver benefits to your employees, your organisation and the ICT industry. Download the reference guides below. An Introduction to Diversity & Inclusion https://bit.ly/2TvJ6M5 Implementing Diversity & Inclusion https://bit.ly/31yU5Zq #diversity #inclusion #ICTSector

21.01.2022 The announcement of $240m to support female cadetships and apprenticeships in science, technology, engineering and mathematics will go some way to address the under-representation of women in the ICT sector.

As ACS Australia's Digital Pulse report highlights, women continue to be underrepresented in the ICT sector, comprising only 29% of the overall share of workers in tech occupations #federalbudget #womeninstem #womenintech

17.01.2022 ACS is surveying Australian schools to gather data and form a benchmark for digital technologies, IT education and teaching in the school sector.
