Port Swigger launches scholarship initiative to encourage more women to pursue careers in tech
Summary: PortSwigger announced a scholarship initiative aimed at young women studying for A-levels and considering a tech career, combining financial support at university with paid work and extensive work placement at the company. PortSwigger said a typical student who takes full advantage of the work opportunities would receive total reward of around £70,000 over the course of the scholarship.
Bottom line: Founder Dafydd Stuttard said women are seriously under-represented in software engineering, and the company frames the £70,000 package as a way to give them an equal and fair chance at a career in the field.
