What is Coding Careers for Women?

Coding Careers for Women* is a joint initiative between Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board and the Mid-West Regional Skills Forum. This programme is fully-funded and offers women a pathway into a career in the tech industry.

You’ll have access to live tutor support 24/7, a personal mentor to guide you through, a learner community and career services to help you gain employment in the sector.
