Make non-linear paths visible
Many women do not enter IT and Tech through one obvious door. WIT{CH} shows the steps, detours, skills, and moments that make these paths real.
About WIT{CH}
Built from a real path into IT and Tech.
WIT{CH} started from the lived experience of entering IT through business, HR digitalisation, application support, cloud projects, leadership, and community-building.
Bachelor thesis origin
The platform was built as part of Daniela Hager's Bachelor thesis in the BSc International IT Management.
The goal is to translate research and lived experience into a focused platform for women in IT and Tech in Switzerland.
Founder story
You do not need to have seen yourself in tech from the beginning to belong in IT and Tech.
Daniela did not start with a straight-line technical career. Her path moved from Matura, waitress work, and business administration into HR digitalisation, application support, cloud projects, IT management studies, team leadership, and finally WIT{CH}.
Why it exists
A platform for the moments where talent needs direction.
Turn uncertainty into next steps
The platform is designed around practical action: find a mentor, explore a career path, join a community space, or discover a relevant opportunity.
Build trust before growth
Visibility, mentorship, and community only work when people feel safe. WIT{CH} puts moderation, privacy, and clear expectations into the product itself.
What WIT{CH} does
One home base for growth in Swiss IT and Tech.
WIT{CH} connects women, STEM initiatives, companies, mentors, and regional opportunities across the Swiss IT and Tech ecosystem.
