Hey Divers,

Spring has (almost) sprung, and diversIT's been getting ready to blossom along with it! If you're passionate about diversity and tech, and you want to work in a dedicated and multi-disciplinary team, applications for the 2021 diversIT Committee are now open! Check out the details below :)

We're also proud to announce our collaboration with Capgemini - Acing the Assessment Centre! Assessment centres are a crucial part of the recruitment process for a huge number of graduate programs and internships. So if you want the inside scoop on them, click the link down below and we'll see you there!

Keep at it divers, and enjoy week 5!

  3/9 This Thursday at 7pm, we're tackling one of the most common practices in IT recruitment - assessment centres! Together with Capgemini, a leading IT employer, we're running a mock assessment centre and workshop to give you the skills and know-how to ace your next assessment centre. Especially for Big Four and large tech employers like Capgemini, assessment centres are ubiquitous. In this session, you'll break out into groups, work together on a case and present your solutions- just like you would when interviewing with a consulting firm!

If you want the chance to hear from eight of Capgemini's finest, then get in quick - there's limited spots available!

  13/9 The diversIT committee is growing next year! We're currently accepting applications for several 2021 roles. If you're interested in promoting diversity and inclusion, or have skills in marketing, events management, graphic design, or website management, we'd love to hear from you!
