With The Federation, Oscar Technology and Manchester Digital
We’re bringing together some of the most prominent minds in diversity and inclusion in Manchester to create an outcome led series of workshops looking at three themes: Education, Recruitment and Retention.

Do you work in HR at a tech business?

Help us shape the future of Diversity in Tech 6pm - 9pm at The Federation 5th, 10th and 16th of April 2018
Thursday 5th April: Tech Education and Diversity: How do we increase the pool of diverse people wanting to work in STEM?
Tuesday 10th April: Creating an inclusive recruitment strategy: How do we recruit a functional, inclusive and naturally diverse tech team?
Monday 16th April: Retaining and growing diverse talent: How do we create a workplace that intrinsically nurtures the needs of a diverse workforce?
Who's involved?
Lots of people! We've tried to engage with as many people as possible, below are just a few. More to be added. You'll meet these people helping run the workshops. Hopefully all attendees at this event will be a part of this project ongoing.

How to get here? We're right by Victoria Station and Shudehill tram stop. Is it accessible? There are accessible entrances (The Pioneer cafe entrance on Dantzic street is best) and toilets. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to get into the event? Nah, your name is all good. Do I have to bring anything to the event? Just yourself and your thoughts. Feel free to do some thinking or research before hand or bring notes. Can I attend more than one event? We would love that. Can I invite people? Please do! Bring anyone who you think will be able to contribute or would have an interest. Make sure they sign up so we have an idea of who's coming and numbers. We need to know for the workshop element and food. I don't know anything about diversity, should I still come? Yes please. Will there be food? There will be something to keep everyone going. (Vegan options too!) but the Pioneer coffee shop will also be open before hand if you want to purchace more food or drink.
