Members Benefits

Join WIT and enjoy the following benefits:

Personal and Professional Networking

The ability to network is a critical success factor at every stage of our personal and professional lives.

WIT provides a supportive, productive and fun environment in which to meet and network with other women working in all areas of technology, in both the government and the private sector. WIT events encourage women of all ages, skills, experience and at all levels in their careers to mingle and interact with one another.

Career Opportunities

By networking at WIT events, you can discover new career development opportunities and challenges.

Members can also speak about their own working experience at a WIT event, which allows them to 'advertise' their skills to potential employers or clients.

Often, it is not what you know but who you know that counts!

In addition, young WIT student members have the opportunity to become a protege and be assigned a mentor who will help them reach their career goals through personal guidance.

Knowledge and Skills Development

Aside from giving you the opportunity to network with others who have a diverse range of skills and experience, WIT membership allows you to develop your own skills by:

  • Learning about new technologies and how they will impact our world, our working lives, our futures and our businesses.
  • Volunteering to work on one of our projects.
  • Speaking at, or hosting a WIT networking event.
  • Participating in one of our career development programs.
  • Accessing WIT resources to enhance your knowledge of industry trends and skills requirements.
  • Discovering how you can kick-start your career in the innovation and technology arena.

Member Broadcasts

A successful network relies on effective communication to keep members informed. WIT will be providing regular member broadcasts via e-mail and on our website. All members will be encouraged to contribute stories or information on up-coming industry events and business seminars.

Business Development

Corporate Membership of WIT provides you with access to a large, predominantly female audience from like-minded businesses in the fields of innovation and technology, who are all interested in helping one another to provide quality services.

The choice of Gold, Silver or Bronze Corporate Membership enables all organisations to benefit. No matter what the size of the organisation, it is important to maintain industry profile. WIT corporate membership gives access to benefits through:

  • Provision of speaking opportunities
  • The opportunity to contribute editorial to our member broadcasts
  • Visibility on the WIT web site through sponsorship
  • Participation in regular executive networking events

Make a Difference!

Above all else, by joining WIT, you can help ensure that opportunities for women and girls to succeed in the science, information technology, engineering and telecommunications industries are show-cased and demystified.

You can even become a mentor and have the satisfaction of helping a protege reach some of her career goals.
