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)
Experts recommend three key actions to close Australia’s talent gap: fair and inclusive hiring, large-scale reskilling, and collaboration between industry and educators.

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.
