Tech Cornwall has launched a new career pathways programme designed to increase equality, inclusion and diversity in Cornwall’s growing tech sector.
The programme’s first cohort has an even split of male and female participants, ranging in age from 20 to 60+, all from different backgrounds, experience levels and employment status.
The programme combines self-directed learning, practical workshops and coaching sessions, with a focus on flexibility.
Course lead, Toni Coppen, explained: “The programme is designed to be completely flexible with your current commitments, whether that’s work, care obligations, health management or something else. The programme itself is self-directed, offering a whole range of different resources which can be accessed through our learning platform, called the Tech Learning Community, in your own time.
“But we also hold practical workshops and coaching sessions, both online and in the evenings to make it easy for all to attend.
She added: “We’re looking for a willingness to learn, an enthusiasm, a drive. Some people start having never seen a line of code, but if they have the motivation to learn and level up, then they could go far.”
