The Girls Who Code Work Prep program is a three week program for college-aged women and non-binary participants who are pursuing careers in the tech industry. Designed to build career skills and confidence, Work Prep offers participants practical, hands-on experience with a specific company’s unique technology, processes, employees, and culture. Participants virtually engage in synchronous sessions two times a week that give them a deep dive into different topics and technical experiences and complete asynchronous tasks in between sessions. This program is intended to spark participants’ professional growth.
