Australia focused with info on scholarships, funding, secondary school initiatives

The GET Set Program (GET stands for 'Girls in Engineering & Technology') is a fun, free day of non-competitive activities designed for female students in years 11 and 12 who wish to explore the tertiary study options at ANU and career paths available in engineering and computing.

Some comments from previous participants of the GET Set Program:

    "It was great to get exposed to hands on area's information, rather than reading course information online. It was very helpful in determining my options."

    "The sessions were great, and they went for a perfect amount of time so we never got bored or tired."

    "I liked the fact that we got to go into different areas (of the University) and were able to talk to the people involved."

    "It was all very interesting, the activities were great and the presenters were fun to work with."

    "I really enjoyed learning about ways in which society is benefiting from engineering."

Girls in Tech Oz is a social network for people interested in supporting women who are interested in technology, focused on connecting, educating and empowering each other. This is done by holding casual meetups and mixers, helping out with area conferences and tech events, and taking on key community projects.

Girls in Tech is a global social network enterprise. As young women with the capacity to inspire, we made it our personal desire and passion to create and sustain an organization that focuses on the collaboration, promotion, growth and success of women interested in technology.

A website created by a university student to help girls find out more about  ICT courses and to encourage them to study ICT.

Applicants must be a female student at an Australian or New Zealand university who has completed one or more years of a Bachelors degree with at least one year of study remaining, whether as part of a Bachelors or postgraduate degree.  Must be studying Computer Science, software Engineering, informatics or a closely related technical field.

Group of eight Australian universities offers fellowships nationally and internationally.

There are many study options for ICT careers, although a university degree greatly increases the options available to you. Courses that combine ICT with another discipline and those that have strong industry contacts or work programs are gaining popularity. However, it is possible to enter the profession by other routes, such as starting out on an IT helpdesk, and moving upwards as you undertake industry certification and/or vendor training.

Whichever path you choose, however, you can be assured that it’s only the beginning. ICT is so fast paced that a successful career demands you keep your skills and knowledge up to date, and commit to lifelong learning.
Find out the courses available at various levels: i) University or ii) TAFE.
