VIC ICT For Women
Formed in 2005, Victorian Information Communication
Technology for Women Network (VICT4W) is a
not-for-profit organisation that operates to increase
the entry, retention and progress of women in the IT
related industries.
They are passionate about getting more women into
IT and encouraging them to excel, keep exploring and
expanding their potential. They believe IT offers great
career opportunities and options for women and we
seek to actively demonstrate this to all ages, starting
with schoolgirls all the way to working with industry
leaders, to shape the future and the thinking of
our industry.
Their vision is “More women in the tech world”.
Their mission is to provide a range of practical and
sustainable initiatives that will promote urban and
regional women’s entry, retention and progression in
the IT industry. They achieve this through six programs,
highlighting lifelong growth options from primary
school to executive level. The programs are available
to all and are run, organised and delivered by our Board
and volunteers and funded through our sponsors.
Vic ICT for Women have been recognised by the
industry for its contribution and was awarded the
#Tech Diversity Award for Champion
of the year 2019.
