We’re excited to share that Kliqtek is continuing its partnership with HEX in 2026, returning with funded scholarships for students joining the HEX International Japan program.

This renewed partnership reflects a shared belief that meaningful change in the technology sector doesn’t come from conversation alone, but from active investment in education, mentorship, and real opportunities for emerging talent.

‍Supporting Gender Equity Through Global Learning

Kliqtek’s ongoing collaboration with HEX strongly aligns with their social purpose of achieving 50/50 gender diversity in the workplace, and their commitment to bridging the gender gap in the ICT industry.

Through HEX programs, students gain hands-on, real-world experience designed to:

• Build confidence
  
• Strengthen practical, career-ready skillsets
  
• Support long-term professional growth
  
• Empower women in STEM to step into leadership pathways within technology and consulting
  

By backing students early in their journey, Kliqtek is helping shape the next generation of leaders who are not only technically capable, but globally aware and industry-ready.

What the Kliqtek Japan Scholarships Include

For the 2026 HEX International Japan program, Kliqtek will be providing:

• 4 x $3,500 AUD scholarships
  
• $14,000 AUD total funding
  
• Representing 50% sponsorship for four students
  

This funding reduces financial barriers and enables more students to access an immersive international experience in Tokyo and Osaka, two of Asia’s most influential innovation hubs.

Why Japan, Why HEX

The HEX International Japan program delivers hands-on exposure to startup ecosystems, global business culture, and future-focused problem solving. Participants work on real challenges, collaborate with ambitious peers, and develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

For Kliqtek, supporting programs like this is about investing in confidence, capability, and inclusion, particularly for students preparing to enter fast-evolving technology careers.

As a boutique Workday specialist consultancy based in Australia, Kliqtek partners with organisations to design and deliver impactful solutions across HR, Payroll, and People Analytics. Their continued support of HEX reflects a long-term commitment to building diverse talent pipelines and strengthening the future of the ICT workforce.

More Than a Scholarship

This partnership goes beyond funding. Both HEX and Kliqtek believe the industry has a responsibility to step in, collaborate, and help shape a more inclusive and innovative future.

Together, we’re creating pathways where students don’t just learn about opportunity, they experience it.
