The 100 Women of Colour in Jobs initiative is Victoria’s bold response to the diversity gap in many industries’ hiring pipelines. This program is a rallying call and a support network rolled into one, aimed at encouraging 100 women of colour to step forward and secure jobs they deserve. Victoria launched this initiative upon noticing how frequently talented women of colour hold themselves back from applying to new opportunities – whether due to lack of confidence, mentorship, or awareness of openings. 100 Women of Colour in Jobs was created to break those barriers and get these women into roles where they can shine.
Under this initiative, Victoria leverages her platform and knowledge to guide participants through the job application process. She regularly shares job postings in tech and related fields, points women toward scholarship or training programs that can bolster their credentials, and offers up practical tips on applications and interviews. A big emphasis is on building confidence and skills so that women feel prepared to go after roles in competitive fields. For instance, Victoria addresses common concerns in her online content – such as coaching her audience on how to avoid common interview mistakes that immigrants or women of color often make when navigating the UK job marketyoutube.com. By tackling these issues head-on (from cultural adjustments in resumes, to interviewing confidently despite potential bias), she ensures that the women in the program are not just encouraged but truly equipped to succeed.
Another key aspect of 100 Women of Colour in Jobs is its collaborative nature. Victoria actively invites corporate partners and allies to get involved. Companies and organizations can partner with the initiative by offering mentorship, resume reviews, mock interviews, or even setting aside job placements or internships for women participating in the program. This not only provides tangible opportunities for the candidates, but also helps employers connect with a pool of diverse talent. For the women involved, knowing that there are employers eager to hire diverse candidates can be hugely motivating. Victoria often highlights success stories from the program – each time one of the “100 women” lands a job or achieves a milestone, it becomes inspiration for others. Those stories are shared to show that change is happening and that these efforts are opening doors.
Ultimately, 100 Women of Colour in Jobs is about creating a cycle of empowerment. As women of color secure new positions in tech, finance, engineering, and beyond, they pave the way for more women to follow. Victoria’s long-term vision is that the number 100 is just the beginning – the confidence and experience gained through this initiative will ripple outward, leading to hundreds more women of colour thriving in their careers. By focusing on both individual journeys and systemic partnerships, this initiative turns the abstract idea of “diversity in hiring” into concrete action and results.
