Pathways book – A guide to help women, Māori, Pasifika, and other underrepresented people into a paid software technology role

Pathways

A step-by-step guide to a paid job in technology

Pathways is designed to help women, Māori, Pasifika, and other underrepresented people into a paid software technology role in six months to a year - without needing a degree first.

Do you wish for a better opportunity than what’s in front of you today? Technology roles pay well, there’s a huge demand for diverse talent, and not enough people to fill the roles. Pathways provides a simple step-by-step guide, mapping out the entire journey for you.

The major parts of Pathways

Pathways is divided into four major parts:

• Strategy and alignment
• Relationships and team structure
• Our process for defining, designing and building features

We want women, Māori, Pasifika, and other underrepresented people to have a single easy resource that can help guide and support them into a paid role in technology.

We also want more technology organisations to create internships open to non-graduates shifting into tech.Our goal is to improve the lives of underrepresented people while also improving diversity across the entire technology sector, not just in Joyous.
