Empiric awarded APSCo Award for Excellence – CSR Initiative of the Year
We are proud to say that Empiric has been awarded APSCo Award for Excellence – CSR Initiative of the Year.
This is in recognition of our Next Tech Girls initiative which has grown to place more school girls into meaningful tech work experience with even more clients within the digital sector and the benefits it is offering the communities involved.
As more businesses and schools get on board with this rewarding initiative, we are on course to hit our target of placing 5,000 girls into tech work experience by 2020. By getting more girls interested in technology and the careers it can offer, we are helping to create a gender diverse pipeline of future talent that the industry desperately needs and open up new opportunities for the girls involved.
What the APSCo judging panel said about us:
“A practical yet creative solution to help plug a large skills gap and to change individuals lives by tackling an imbalance. This solution clearly covers a diverse range of ethical and socio-economic groups that are underrepresented in the work place. The initiative runs strongly through the core of the business and all staff are clearly engaged in its success.”
