Our students are making significant progress and have completed almost 30% of the
program. We’re excited to share that our participants attend both technical and soft skills
sessions to develop a well-rounded set of abilities that will set them up for success in their
careers.
Our technical skills sessions focus on WordPress, and we provide a supportive learning
environment for women eager to learn and grow their skills. Our goal is to empower each
other to achieve our professional goals and pave the way for more women in tech.
As for our soft skills classes, we’re already 50% done with the program! Our students find
the classes engaging and insightful, with some even saying that it’s relaxing for them. We
aim to teach them skills that they can apply not just in their WordPress knowledge but also in
building solid professional personalities and even extending outside of their profession to
their personal lives.
