Suva, Fiji — Outsource Fiji is thrilled to announce Bula Outsourcing as a major sponsor for the inaugural Women in Tech (WinTech) event and awards night scheduled to take place on Friday 1 December 2023 at the Grand Pacific Hotel Suva. Outsource Fiji, Executive Director, Ms Sagufta Janif, whilst welcoming Bula Outsourcing stated that the WinTech event not only aimed to celebrate the achievements of the women in Fiji’s tech space, but also to empower the next generation of female leaders and bridge the persistent gender gap in the industry. “The outsourcing industry in Fiji employs over 68% of female workers, most of who are already in the tech space. However, we continue to see gender disparities in the broader tech space, which is why we see it imperative to create platforms for women to upskill themselves, as well as be recognised for their contributions.” “I wish to thank and congratulate Bula Outsourcing for sharing this journey with us as a major sponsor, with a vision to foster diversity, equality, and empowerment within the tech sector. Bula Outsourcing is a prominent business in Fiji’s outsourcing industry which currently employs over 75 female staff”, added Ms Janif Speaking on this partnership, Bula Outsourcing Chief Executive Officer, Josie Prasad stated “Sponsoring the Women in Tech event showcases our commitment to creating a more inclusive tech space in Fiji. We believe in providing opportunities for women to showcase their skills, connect with industry leaders, and gain valuable insights.” As a major sponsor, Bula Outsourcing will be supporting the Rising Star in Tech Award 2023. Bula Outsourcing has implemented several initiatives and programs designed to support and encourage women in the tech industry. This includes mentorship programs, leadership training, and a commitment to promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities within the company’s hiring practices.
