The tech world is riddled with the problem of gender disparity and underrepresentation in its workforce. Women and minorities are harrowingly underrepresented in the field, and lacking diversity reduces creativity and innovation. #MakeTechPurple is about changing that. We want to make the industry more inclusive, so everyone can successfully contribute their unique perspectives and talents.

Solving the Gender Gap in Tech 💜 #MakeTechPurple
About us
#MakeTechPurple aims to solve the gender gap in technology by providing opportunities for women to up-skill/re-skill and be aligned to sustainable tech jobs. Our vision is to create a million opportunities in the next decade. #MakeTechPurple is dedicated to bridging the gender divide in tech through dynamic upskilling and reskilling programs, ensuring women secure and thrive in lasting tech careers. We chose purple as a mindful combination of the color red (representing women in tech) and the color blue (representing the historically male-dominated influence in the industry). The resulting color purple, which also symbolizes power, wisdom, and creativity, is the ideal representation of this mission.

#MakeTechPurple believes in supporting women at every stage of their journey. NIKHILA's transition from a career break to a Data Analyst at Cisco shows that with the right resources, women can thrive in tech. Read her inspiring story of how Make Tech Purple helped her regain confidence and build the skills to succeed. "Make Tech Purple has been instrumental in helping me find a job after taking a long break from my career. As a mother, re-entering the workforce after stepping away to focus on raising my child was challenging. Despite my efforts, I struggled to find the right opportunity that aligned with my skills and experience. Make Tech Purple not only provided me with valuable career guidance but also helped me regain my confidence and navigate the job market. Through their program, I had the opportunity to learn SQL and Python programming, which significantly enhanced my coding skills. This allowed me to work on a project using applications like Streamlit, further strengthening my technical expertise. Their support made all the difference in helping me secure a role that aligns with both my professional aspirations and personal commitments. Today, I am proud to say that I have found a job as a Data Analyst at Cisco. I would also like to take a moment to thank BayOne and their team, specifically Neha Malhotra, for her exceptional support. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made a lasting impact on me. Neha went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and her commitment to her clients has been truly empowering. Additionally, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Han Nguyen for highlighting my story and helping me secure this incredible opportunity. Han’s support and belief in my potential were instrumental in making this milestone possible.” #MakeTechPurple #UnstoppableHer #WomenInTech #Returnship #WorkforceReentry #ReturntoWork #SQL #Python #WomenInSTEM #DataAnalyst #CohortEngineers #CohortProgram

The increase in women’s representation in C-suite roles from 17% to 29% over the past decade is a promising sign of progress, but it also highlights how much work remains to achieve true gender equity in corporate leadership. This shift didn’t happen overnight; it’s the result of ongoing efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion across the industry. Progress is possible, but it requires continued commitment from all of us. Let’s keep moving forward to build workplaces where everyone has a seat at the table. #WomenInLeadership #DEI #DiversityMatters #LeadershipEquality

In a rapidly changing job market, retaining women in the workforce requires more than just standard perks. According to recent data, many women plan to stay with their employer for only around 2.5 years, emphasizing that career advancement, learning opportunities, and work-life balance are crucial for long-term retention. Employers that prioritize these elements can build a more engaged, loyal, and motivated team. What initiatives have you seen make a difference in retention for women in the workplace? #EmployeeEngagement #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance #RetentionStrategies
