The Sutton Trust and Tech Talent Charter

Boasting a rich history of achievements across sectors such as law, finance, and medicine, the Sutton Trust is expanding into new industries, seeking innovative solutions to address social mobility challenges. We are therefore pleased to have become a signatory of the Tech Talent Charter.  

 

The prospect of collaborating with the Charter’s dynamic team and its network of signatories is particularly exciting, as we collectively strive to enhance social mobility within the tech industry. Our goal is not only to promote greater inclusivity within the sector but also to amplify opportunities for emerging young talent from less advantaged backgrounds. 

 

Tech Talent Charter are an organisation dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive tech industry. Founded on the belief that diversity is key to driving innovation and success, the charter brings together organisations and individuals committed to increasing the diversity of the tech workforce. The charter acts as a beacon, guiding the tech industry toward a future where opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background. 

 

 Commenting, Binda Patel, Director of Innovation at the Sutton Trust, said: 

 

“We are thrilled to have become a signatory to the Tech Talent Charter, and we hope that this partnership can lead to a more socially mobile tech industry.  

 

“By combining our strengths, we hope to challenge the diversity gap within tech and shape a future where opportunities in technology are open to all, and success is not defined by background or circumstance.”
