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.

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
