I want to become a professional remote coder and I know that SheCodes can help me achieve the goals that I would like to have in the future

🙋‍♀️ Gerda's Motivation

I love the fact that the SheCodes Foundation's verification are recognized by a lot of tech companies. I love that there are a lot of positive testimonials on your website. I also love that SheCodes Foundation have a 4.9 star rating and that a lot of women that came out of the course went on to get good jobs. SheCodes are also very community minded. I am currently unemployed and I am trying to find jobs for a very long time and I decided that I wanted to get coding skills to make me a more marketable and competitive candidate when I go and search for jobs in this technological era that we are living in to provide a better life for my family. I also love the fact that the SheCodes Foundation offers the free courses because I am unable to study for a decree in school and it made me motivated to study with SheCodes.

The SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The SheCodes Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
