We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership between WOMEN’STEC and MAK-SYSTEM, a leading provider of advanced technology solutions in the healthcare field. MAK-SYSTEM is committed to driving digital inclusion in Northern Ireland.
Over the next seven years, this partnership will support WOMEN’STEC in launching a Digital Skills Development Programme for Women in Northern Ireland.
The programme will give women the opportunity to gain essential IT and digital qualifications — helping boost their confidence, employability, and career prospects. The course will cover topics such as AI tool training, cybersecurity essentials, online safety, and digital career pathways. The goal is to ensure that women who may have previously been excluded from digital opportunities can discover and thrive in the possibilities of the digital world.
“Thank you to the MAK-SYSTEM team for their vision and commitment to achieving real-world impact and long-lasting change. We can’t wait to see the difference this partnership will make for women!”
Helen Kerr, Head of Business Development, WOMEN’STEC
