She Does Digital has been on pause during the pandemic. Two years(!) on… and we’re back and ready to restart our mission to get more women into the digital industry in Leeds and beyond.

We met with Leeds City College a few weeks ago to talk about how we could help encourage more digital businesses to take on work experience students. Akeisha Brown from the colleges Business Engagement team talks about how digital businesses can get involved and how beneficial work experience is to students wanting to pursue careers in the industry.

With only 19% of the digital workforce being female, we’ve had another busy year highlighting opportunities and routes into the industry, to bridge the gap. We wanted to share some of the highlights with you.

With a knack for analysis and management, Rohela Raouf began her digital career path as an insight analyst. As her career progressed in the civil service, Rohela continued to challenge herself and left to become a freelance business analyst. Now she uses forefront technology to deliver solutions for her clients. 

Lucy Reast is currently a student at the University of Leeds and has only just begun her digital journey. With little digital experience she decided to gain some work experience, spending a month in award-winning digital agency Jaywing.

Join us for She Does Hey!: From ______ to Digital’ from 7pm at the Belgrave Music Hall. This is our second collaboration event with Hey! And you are all invited.
