SHE//BUILDS

A free UK community for women building apps, websites and businesses with AI — share tips, get help and learn by doing.

Why I recommend it: UK-based but open online. A supportive place to start if you want to build with AI tools alongside other women.

Rewriting the Code

A free community of 50,000+ women from university through early career in tech. Membership gives you a peer network, mentorship, events, and access to partner companies that recruit from the community. Open to everyone, centered on women in tech.

Why I recommend it: Free to join. Strongest if you are a university student or in your first few years of work — the value is the people and the recruiting pipeline, not the content library.

Tech Ladies Job Board

The Tech Ladies job board: vetted roles at companies that actively recruit women in technical and non-technical tech jobs.

Why I recommend it: A smaller board where a real person screened the employers. Worth more than a thousand raw listings.

Tech Ladies

A community and job board for women in tech, with member-only roles, events, and peer support.

Why I recommend it: The community is the real value here. Job boards go stale; a network that vouches for you does not.

Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship (WordCamp US)

Scholarship covering travel, lodging, and a ticket to WordCamp US for a woman in the WordPress community who could not otherwise attend, created in memory of contributor Kim Parsell.

Why I recommend it: Conference scholarships are the most under-applied money in tech. Even past cycles are worth reading to see exactly what the application asks for.

The AI boom is leaving women behind

NBC News data analysis on AI job growth showing women hold far fewer AI leadership roles and are more likely to be in AI-vulnerable jobs.

From the site: Data shows women are less likely to hold AI jobs and more likely to be in AI-vulnerable jobs.

Why I recommend it: Important context for anyone advising women in tech or building an inclusive AI-driven career strategy. Use the data to advocate for equitable training and access.

The ROI of Resilience: Cybersecurity Talent Management (Executive Summary)

Research summary showing skills-based, talent-friendly hiring practices save over $125,000 per cybersecurity worker through faster hiring and better retention, with a focus on widening pathways for women.

In plain terms: This research report shows how cybersecurity employers use skills-based hiring, mentorship programs, and ongoing training to retain talent. You can use this data to identify workplaces that support professional growth and clear promotion paths for women.

Why I recommend it: Good ammunition if you're arguing for skills-based hiring internally — it puts a dollar figure on it.
