The Opportunity in Numbers
Women currently make up 44% of Australia’s workforce, but just 30% of tech jobs. At the same time, more than 660,000 women are already working in roles that could transition into tech with the right training. By stepping into IT, women can unlock $31,000 more per year in income on average, while helping add $6.5 billion to the national economy. (ACS.org.au)
How This Scholarship Fits In
Experts recommend three key actions to close Australia’s talent gap: fair and inclusive hiring, large-scale reskilling, and collaboration between industry and educators. The Women in IT Scholarship is our way of contributing to this national effort — removing financial barriers and opening pathways for women to gain recognised qualifications and step confidently into tech.
Your Pathway Forward
Scholarship recipients gain access to industry-recognised courses, certifications, and real-world projects. Graduates step into roles such as IT support, cybersecurity, networking, or data analysis — all areas with strong demand and high growth. With tailored career coaching and Lumify Edge job placement support, you’ll have a clear roadmap to a rewarding career.
Tech isn’t only for those with a STEM degree or coding background. Many women think they’re “not technical enough” to apply — but this scholarship is designed for beginners and career-changers. If you’re motivated, curious, and ready to learn, we’ll help you build the skills and confidence to succeed in IT.
