InnovateMCR – Launch Party

Written by: on January 29, 2019

Join us for our Official Launch Party in Manchester!

Our vision is to make a significant positive impact on gender equality in tech.

Discover how we’re working to improve gender diversity in tech by engaging with girls aged 12-16 through our innovative 8-week school-based programmes. We aim to equip them with digital skills, build their confidence, and inspire them to consider a career a tech while introducing them to local industry role models.

Over the next 2 years, we’ll be working in over 50 schools in Greater Manchester so we want to connect with industry professionals, companies and the wider community who are interested in giving something back and inspiring the next generation.

We’ll also be revealing more about our future plans including our tiered membership programme that allows companies, whatever their size, to support their local schools as well as diversity and inclusion within their workplace.

All are welcome – so please come along and find out how you can help support our mission across Greater Manchester. Feel free to bring your colleagues and friends, the more the merrier. Good vibes, nibbles and drinks will be provided. Supported by Co-op Foundation and The Federation, in partnership with Luminate.
