At West College Scotland, we are committed to promoting equality and diversity. To address the under-representation of females in the tech industries, we're launching an introduction to Computer Science course dedicated to women.

This course can lead onto relevant HN courses in Software Development and Games Development, which will open up opportunities for jobs within these industries.

David Renton, Computing Curriculum Quality Leader at our Paisley Campus, points out: "There is a shortage of graduates to fill all the programming jobs available in the UK's computing industry, where the gender imbalance is also an issue. We're committed to addressing this with our new introductory course dedicated to women. It will hopefully get more girls to love computing and benefit from the large pool of job opportunities in the tech industries."
