Two academies for talented girls and women in IT and Engineering
11-February-2021
CodeGirls Academy and EngeWomen Academy – a promising step for girls in IT and Engineering.
During the past period, we have been working hard on our project “WomEntrepreneurship: IT and Engineering at their strongest!” which aims to empower and support young girls to follow their dream careers even in fields “not typical” for women. Also, to help them find better opportunities in the labor market.
We are working with 10 successful women (from different
fields) to produce videos, that will serve young girls as a road-map on how to
achieve successfully, and how to keep going when all the odds are against you.
During the month of December, we conducted two academies.
The EngeWomen Academy, with girls – professional in the fields of engineering
was held in the University of Tetovo, while at the same time in South East
European University the CodeGirl Academy took place. Altogether more than 43
young professional girls had the opportunity to strengthen their skills and
knowledge in these fields.
Currently, with a group of experts, we are building a
platform where we will lunch our next activity. Happy to share with you that
ILPP will be delivering the first virtual Career Fair in North Macedonia, where
we will enable young girls to step into direct contact with corporates and
businesses who are operating nationally or abroad.
When there is hard work, passion, and dedication, anything
can be achieved! Stay tuned and don’t miss our journey to success.
