Code to Career: Information Session

Description

At this online information session, you’ll learn about Code to Career, a new national skilling initiative that subsidizes Software Engineering bootcamps to provide training to individuals in Canada who have been historically and currently are underrepresented in the tech sector.

Who is this for?

• “I’m curious about tech and code in general”
• “I am a complete beginner when it comes to coding”
• “I want to give back and cultivate my professional skills through networking, mentorship or instructing!”
• “I have some coding skills but I’m looking to try my hand at something new!”
• “I have financial barriers that make it hard to pay for classes and training”
• “I’m not sure if I belong in tech— I wish I saw more people like me leading this industry!”

This event is open to all adults 18+, designed in a way that seeks to explicitly welcome people with underrepresented genders—this includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity or expression.

We believe that addressing the gender gap in tech is just one part of building digital equity. A more just and equitable future for technology in Canada means building programming that supports, empowers, and equips all learners who historically have been—and continue to be—underrepresented in tech, particularly Black, Indigenous and other Racialized learners, people in low-income communities and newcomer learners.

If this sounds like you, or if you want to learn more about how to foster inclusivity in your local tech community, we can’t wait for you to join us!
