Hackeuses
Designed for women furthest from the workforce and the digital economy, the Hackeuses program allows participants to explore tech careers in a supportive environment with no prerequisites. Through hands-on workshops, dedicated coaching, and networking events, it restores confidence and creates clear pathways to training or high-growth employment. This program drives gender diversity in a male-dominated sector and actively helps women overcome "imposter syndrome."
"Before Hackeuses, I knew nothing about IT, but I wanted to pivot to a future-proof career. I discovered the digital world, learned to code, and, above all, gained confidence. It was a challenge, but the support was incredible. Today, I’m ready for a career in tech. This journey was transformative."
