We were thrilled to participate in the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT Conference last week, centered around the theme of 'Making IT Good for Society.' The event featured a comprehensive agenda addressing critical issues such as the Digital Divide, Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (IDE), and the imperative to invest in future skills #IDE #DigitalDivide #IT #Tech
