How to Support People From Low Socioeconomic Backgrounds
The IT channel has long been a force for social mobility. But with only nine per cent of people working in tech today coming from low socioeconomic backgrounds, there is still so much more we can do.
This free guide brings together the collective wisdom of nineteen senior IT Channel leaders from Microsoft, Computacenter, Softcat, Konica Minolta, NTT DATA and beyond, all of whom built successful careers despite challenging starts in life.
When we asked them what companies should be doing differently, their answers were remarkably consistent. This guide turns that lived experience into a practical roadmap your organisation can act on today.
Inside you will find eight areas of actionable recommendations covering recruitment, early pathways, apprenticeships, mentoring, belonging, and more, each grounded in the real stories of people who have been on both sides of the door.
Because talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not. And you have the power to change that.
