The next generation of women taking on tech in TV
The RTS launched its Technology Bursary Scheme in 2015. The initiative supports students from lower-income households studying science, technology, engineering or maths (Stem) subjects, with the aim of tempting them into a career in the media industry when they graduate.
Our first group of five students comprised four men and one woman. This year, we awarded eight bursaries. For the first time, we have equal numbers of male and female students. Is this a blip, or are we moving towards a more equal gender balance?
