Participants in the TechWomen program, launched in 2011, get the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the experience of well-known companies for five weeks. To date, about 700 women from various parts of the world have participated in the program.
TechWomen brings emerging women leaders in STEM from Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East together with their professional counterparts in the United States for a mentorship and exchange program.
Participating in the five-week TechWomen program, launched in 2011, gives women from Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East “access to networks, resources and knowledge to empower them to reach their full potential in STEM.”
Over the past seven years, more than 700 women have participated in the program.
