You found a career path and you've been on that journey, but you want to try something new. So how do you make the leap to tech?

It may be that the 'dream job' hasn't lived up to your hopes, or that motherhood has changed your work expectations - it doesn't matter what's led you to this point. How can you use your transferable skills to excel in the world of tech and what can the world of tech offer to you?

To help us answer this and more, we’re joined by Becks Carrington, Head of Product at Sparkbox.

In the last year, Sparkbox has taken on four female career switchers, two of which are mums. Becks joins us to help empower more women to make the transition into tech roles and celebrate all that mums have to offer.

Today, we’ll be covering why companies need to invest and support mums, and what they can do to eliminate the motherhood penalty so many face.
SheCanCode is a collaborative community of women in tech working together to tackle the tech gender gap.
Join our community to find a supportive network, opportunities, guidance and jobs, so you can excel in your tech career.
