TechUp – a new digital training programme targeted at women

Horizon Digital Economy Research is delighted to announce the involvement of Mercedes Torres Torres, Sarah Martindale and Carolina Fuentes in TechUp – a new digital training programme targeted at women funded by the Institute of Coding, led by Durham University in partnership with the universities of Nottingham, Edge Hill and York.

“We are delighted to be part of such an important programme to encourage women to train in the digital sector, an industry that is still largely male dominated. We really want to see female representation in the technology sector pick up pace and this programme gives a clear path into the industry with fantastic support along the way and we hope women will be encouraged to take the first step on this journey and sign up.” – Mercedes Torres Torres.
