<br>**************************************************************<br>To Whom it may concern,<br><br>I am contacting you to advise of an upcoming Vic ICT for Women event that<br>may be of interest to your members and broader network.
<br><br>"The Untapped Workforce: attracting women back into the industry" is<br>presented by Jackie Cooke, Managing Director of Priorities - Flexible<br>Employment Strategies, 12.30 - 2pm Thursday 19 July -tickets just $40 for
<br>non members.<br><br>The event provides and excellent networking opportunity as well as insight<br>into how companies can improve flexibility to attract and retain women.<br><br>Vic ICT for Women is a non profit networking organisation supporting the
<br>entry, retention and progression of women working in the Information<br>Communication Technology industry. The Network is a critical link between<br>government, business, the education sector and other industry associations
<br>to collaborate on, and influence the direction of ICT in Victoria.<br><br>It was established in response to a growing acknowledgement by government<br>and the industry of the declining number of women entering the industry as
<br>well as the impact of current low participation levels on the skills base of<br>ICT in Victoria. The Network represents a real desire by government,<br>industry and vendors to 'invest in action' to address the skills gap and
<br>lack of interest in pursuing ICT careers by increasing awareness of the<br>diversity of ICT roles.<br><br>Kind regards<br>Bianca Brownlow<br>Manager<br>Vic ICT for Women p: 03 9520 3515 f: 03 9520 3556 <a href="http://www.vicictforwomen.com.au">
