 ch hopes to both introduce women who work in the IT industry to one anothe
 r and provide routes and pathways for those who wish to enter the IT indus
 try. This event is joint event with BCS Women. BCS Women’s main objectiv
 e is to provide support for female IT professionals\, as well as mentoring
  and encouraging girls/women to enter IT as a career and this why we are p
 artnering with the Oxfordshire branch. The chair of BCS Women  Andrea Pal
 mer will provide information on how you can get involved in the committee 
 and the details of forthcoming events.\n\nThis event aims to provide infor
 mation on how to move forward in your IT career or enter the IT industry.
   There are also talks on how it is possible to re-train in order start a
  new career in the IT industry. These include:\n\n• navigate your way to
  obtain postgraduate professional qualifications in computing and IT\n• 
 Taking part in IT training\n• Obtaining BCS professional qualifications 
 and potentially a chartered status.\n\nPlease see below for more details.\
 n\nPostgraduate Qualifications by Jeremy Gibbons \nIn this talk we will p
 resent the postgraduate qualifications offered by the Professional Masters
  Programme\, a centre for advanced education and applied research at the U
 niversity of Oxford. The Programme exists to make the expertise of the Uni
 versity available to those who wish to study part-time while continuing in
  full-time employment.\n\nWe will present the courses offered by the Progr
 amme and explain how these may be used as credit towards a Masters' degree
  (MSc)—or other postgraduate awards--in Software Engineering or Software
  and Systems Security from the University of Oxford. We will also discuss 
 in detail the admission criteria.\n\nIT Training by Jinous Bason\nThere is
  a variety of computer training which is provided for instance either on-l
 ine or in person.  This talk is about both the types of courses and subje
 ct areas. Training can also be used as a stepping stone to getting back in
 to work place perhaps after a career break. Whilst in the workplace it pro
 vides a method for either changing roles within the same organisation or p
 erhaps moving to a brand new or similar role in a different organisation.\
 n\nBCS Qualifications by Stephen Tweed\nThe Chartered Institute for IT is 
 the professional body for IT with the remit for Making IT Good for Society
 . It delivers a number of products and services from supporting the Nation
 al Centre for Computing Education\, course accreditation\, teacher trainin
 g and setting the standards for Chartered IT Professional and other regist
 rations. I will focus my presentation on the Professional Certifications d
 eveloped by BCS Learning and Development\, the commercial arm of BCS\, and
  will also give an insight into the benefits of membership. About 50\,000 
 people a year sit a BCS Certification\, and they are a popular form of con
 tinued professional development for those in IT but also non-IT profession
 als. The portfolio sits within 5 subject areas\, covering AI\, Software Te
 sting\, Cyber\, Data and Business Analysis and in total there are currentl
 y 70 exams across the portfolio\, cutting across different levels.\n\nComp
