Empowering your
tech career

Tech is evolving toward greater gender equality, fostering collaborative, innovative spaces where women can thrive. Yet with only 29% female representation, the gap remains. FDM recognises the unique challenges women face – from learning preferences to imposter syndrome and communication styles.
