We’re kicking off our Women + [Tech Podcast] with an IWD26 special exploring this year’s theme, Give to Gain. In this launch episode, we introduce our mission: amplifying diverse voices in tech, sharing intersectional experiences, challenging stereotypes, and diving into the tech conversations that really matter.

Host Gemma McKay is joined by three amazing degree apprenticeship learners, Ruby Nicholls, Toma Jonaityte, and Becky Grice, who share their tech career journeys, the support that’s shaped them, and how giving back helps them grow.

This episode marks the start of a community‑driven Women + Tech series where anyone, from first‑day learners to seasoned tech pros - can get involved. Whether you want to be a guest, pitch a topic, or even try hosting, this is your space. We’re building a podcast series for everyone who cares about women and tech - a place to share discoveries, ask big questions, and explore what it truly means to find (and use) your voice in tech!

This Women + Tech Podcast is hosted by Gemma McKay, Head of Programme at School of Technology at BPP University. If you want to get in touch, find her on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmamckay/
