For the Digital Skills for Women+ Program 2023, applications are now being accepted.

Women+ without prior industry experience can benefit from this free cohort by learning more about industry-related subjects, the ecosystem, and job opportunities. Its goal is to give participants the self-assurance they need, teach them the language of the industry, and help them become better prepared to research and pursue careers in technology.
