Do you have specific development programmes for Women working in Tech?

Good question Lisa :) Maybe we can do this I feel - Community Engagement: Engaging with external communities and organizations focused on supporting women in tech to share best practices, resources, and opportunities for collaboration.

Thank you, Mounika.

Hi Lisa, great question! We have various development opportunities at TUI to develop in different fields. One example is our for:ward program where you can take part in an intense upskilling over six month to improve in your current role or even to develop yourself into another role. This is offered for every kind of needed technical skillsets. Additionally we have our WomenInTech community where you could join our mentoring opportunities and connect across the group.

I am a part of for:ward program program and I am absolutely happy to expand my qualification from data analyst to data engineer. While in the program, I already can apply my newly acquired skills in day-to-day work!

Thanks, Nadine, can you or someone else share some more insights on the Women in Tech mentoring, please?

Recently we have explored a cooperation with Code First Girls to attract females who aspire to build a career in IT but haven't got previous experience. We embarked on journey where we were looking for women who were interested in becoming Junior Developers and TUI (through CFG)sponsored 4 individuals to gain their degrees to achieve this. We now have 4 new female junior developers beginning their IT career within TUI.

What is the for:ward programme, Anastasia?:)

That sounds like a very nice coperation, Annette. Can everyone participte with Code First Girls?

Any female can participate, there is a recruitment process to go through to review suitability but essentially any female can apply.

The WomenInTech mentoring initiative is created to attend a mentoring over 6 month with one of our powerful and inspiring women at TUI that already gained experiences and can provide orientation, help you to gain a bigger network in the company and support you with your personal career development.

Thank you, Nadine & Annette, both sounds very interesting :)
