Invitation to CivaLabs Fireside Chat
Breaking Barriers: A Roadmap to a Thriving Tech Career in the UK for Minority Professionals
The UK tech sector is a powerhouse of innovation, yet it faces significant challenges in diversity. While ethnic minorities make up approximately 25% of the tech workforce, their representation in senior roles drops to just 14%, and Black technologists are particularly underrepresented. This disparity highlights systemic barriers, including lack of visible role models, unconscious bias in hiring, and limited access to mentorship and funding for minority-led businesses.
CivaLabs is positioned to address these gaps by providing targeted guidance and a supportive network to empower minority talent in the UK tech landscape.
Join our speaker: Esther Okon, a senior business analyst, change manager, product owner and career coach as she shares the knowledge, strategies, and network required to secure and accelerate a successful, long-term tech career in the UK.
