We’re excited to share that La Fosse Academy has been shortlisted for the Best Training Provider or Academy at the Women in Tech Employer Awards 2025. 

This recognition is a huge moment for the La Fosse Academy. It celebrates the work we do every day to remove barriers, unlock potential, and help create a more inclusive future for the tech industry. 

Why this matters to us 

At La Fosse Academy, we believe tech should be built by everyone, for everyone. But right now, the industry doesn’t reflect the diversity of the world we live in. Women remain significantly underrepresented in technical roles, and access to training and opportunity isn’t always equal. 

We’re here to change that. 

Our programme is designed to support people from all backgrounds to launch successful tech careers – regardless of what’s on their CV. We back ambition with free training, personal coaching, and real-world experience. And we partner with employers who care about long-term, inclusive growth. 

Being shortlisted is a moment of pride for our Associates, trainers, team, and community, and a sign that the work we’re doing is making a difference. 

What the Women in Tech Employer Awards represent 

The Women in Tech Employer Awards celebrate the organisations building more equitable, supportive, and inclusive workplaces for women in tech. That includes better hiring practices, learning and development opportunities, inclusive cultures, and clear progression pathways. 

This year’s awards shine a light on the employers and individuals working to close the gender gap and reshape the future of tech for good. 

What the Best Training Provider or Academy category means 

This category recognises training providers and academies that are creating genuine, lasting impact. That means going beyond technical instruction to deliver programmes that: 

  • Actively support women entering or progressing in the tech industry 
  • Equip people with the confidence and skills they need to thrive 
  • Work closely with employers to create sustainable career opportunities 
  • Remove financial, educational, and systemic barriers to access 

We’re proud to see our approach – backing potential, not privilege – recognised at this level. 

What this shortlisting means

This shortlisting is more than a moment of recognition – it’s a validation of our mission. It tells us that inclusive, people-first training models are not only possible, but essential. That when we invest in individuals, we strengthen the whole industry. 

We’re proud of what our Associates achieve, of the businesses we work with, and of the incredible team that makes the Academy what it is. 

We’ll be celebrating at the awards ceremony on 11 November 2025, but until then, we’ll keep doing what we do best: helping people build bold, brilliant futures in tech. 

Interested in joining our community of like-minded women in Tech who want to make a change?

The technology industry has talked about gender diversity for decades, yet meaningful progress remains frustratingly slow. Women continue to face systemic barriers that prevent them from entering, advancing, and thriving in tech careers.

UNBOUND isn’t another talking shop. We’re building a movement of industry leaders committed to taking practical action that creates real, measurable change for women in technology.

We bring together senior decision-makers, rising stars, career changers, and emerging talent to have honest conversations and take bold actions that actually move the needle. Because sustainable change happens when we work together, not in isolation.

Join UNBOUND and become part of a community committed to unleashing the full potential of women in technology. This is not just another newsletter. It’s your connection to a movement that’s creating real change in tech.
