Programme
The programme is composed of two main parts. A coding training course and a “soft skills” training course which will focus on self-confidence, leadership, setting personal goals, public speaking and discovering new jobs.
“Project” sessions are organised so that the girls can apply the knowledge gained and develop their own digital projects.
