Tech-Moms is our foundational program to help women transition into better careers, centering a lifelong learning model that is essential in the rapidly evolving world of tech. We introduce students to a wide variety of technical pathways that are perfect for those just entering the field, while providing a strong support network to ensure continued success.
Tech-Moms 2.0 programs were developed to allow alumni the chance to continue learning together while gaining in-demand technical skills. To date, we have introduced new training programs in Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, and Project Management. These initiatives offer affordable training and certifications, empowering our Tech-Moms to enhance their skills and move directly into technical roles.
Ready to go back to work after a career break, but not sure if tech is the right industry for you? Get support for career re-entry with our 2-part online course, Relaunching your Career for Women, offered in partnership with the Utah Women in Leadership Project. Here you will gain support, skills and the confidence needed to successfully return to the workforce.
