Podcast: Empowering women to enter tech careers

Written By Marketing Team

“Now you’ve got someone who can live in Karratha and still work for one of the biggest tech companies in Australia.”

- Kate Kirwin, Founder of SheCodes

On the latest episode of Location Matters, podcast host Claire Wilson is joined by three talented women in tech; Kate Kirwin, founder of SheCodes, Daphne Yu Graduate Developer at NGIS Australia and IMW On-Demand learner and Winyama Geospatial Analyst Intern, Khia Emslie O’Brien. The discussion centers around why getting women into tech roles is so important, opportunities for women to enter tech through programs like SheCodes and each woman’s personal journey which led them towards careers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) sectors.
