Welcome to the Women in IT Chapter (WIIT) of IITPSA, where we drive innovation, leadership and inclusivity, in the technology sector<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our mission is to grow, mentor, and empower women to thrive in ICT through impactful programs, mentorship, and community support. Together we foster skills development and uplift women in IT careers.<\/p>\n

Information Technology (IT) is the foundation of the key careers of the future. Digital technology will power all the systems that run safety, security, health, education, environment, commerce, banking and more; offering career and business opportunities for millions of specialised IT practitioners.<\/p>\n

Yet women are under-represented in the IT sector. WIIT aims to address that gap, helping girls see opportunities for themselves in the IT space, and enabling women IT professionals to progress in their careers.<\/p>\n

Join us to shape a brighter future for women in technology!<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

WIIT was originally established in 2005 as a non-profit organisation focused on addressing the gender imbalance within the IT industry in South Africa. Today, it is a Chapter of the Institute of Information Technology Professionals South Africa (IITPSA), creating greater access and networking opportunities for women in the IT space.<\/span><\/p>\n
