Critical Careers : Building Careers in Digital Infrastructure seeks to build on the foundation from the first book, Women in Digital Infrastructure, but shifts the focus. The question is no longer only who is here, but how careers take shape once people arrive. The stories in this book show how careers in digital infrastructure are not defined by a single path, but shaped over time through experience, opportunity and support.

 

Digital infrastructure is still being built, at pace and at scale. The same is true of the roles within it. The opportunity now is to be more deliberate about how those careers develop. For Critical Careers, visibility was only the starting point. The ambition now is for women to not only see themselves in the industry, but to grow and succeed within it.
