CBF Careers Fair and Entry to Tech

It was a huge pleasure to welcome Coding Black Females’ first-ever Bristol Careers Fair recently at our Brunswick Square event space. What a night!

Coding Black Females

Established in 2017, Coding Black Females is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing opportunities for Black female developers to meet, network, receive support and learn from others in the industry.

Inspiring Talks + Tech Hosts

The evening was an engaging and inspiring mix of interesting talks in the main event space and informative stalls in the breakout area. There was plenty of chance for attendees to explore tech career opportunities with hosts for the night including MadeTech, MotherBoard, Lloyds Banking Group, Ghyston, Sanderson, DigiLocal, Rowden and Babbasa.

Coding Black Females CEO & Founder Charlene Hunter MBE, kicked off the talks sharing insights about Coding Black Females’ mission and journey. Alix from Bloc Recruitment followed, offering guidance on navigating a tech career, from how to identify available roles to landing a job and standing out in the industry. Gemma from Lloyds Banking Group concluded with her talk, ‘This is Me,’ encouraging us to reflect on our career goals, personal development and how to effectively share our stories with others.
