In Aotearoa New Zealand, tech is a part of everyday work life, yet there are groups of people not currently well represented or supported in the sector – particularly women, Māori, Pacific, neuro-diverse and people with disabilities. TechStep is here to change that and prepare all Kiwis for the future of work.
From kura/school-age children to rangatahi, career changers, and the people they go to for career advice, we're dedicated to making tech accessible to all Kiwis.
Tech Step, a three-year project supported by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, is led by the Auckland Business Chamber, Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce, and a nationwide consortium of providers.
- Simon Bridges, Chief Executive, Auckland Business Chamber
TechStep will be backing select events throughout regional Aotearoa. These events will showcase the diversity and talent within our tech sector, serving as a source of inspiration and information for individuals considering or pursuing a tech career.
