Project Implementation Timeline: 2021-2023 years
Project Status: Completed
The “500 Women in Tech,” a large-scale retraining project in Georgia, was coordinated by Business and Technology University, with the support of UN Women and the Government of Norway.
The primary objective of the “500 Women in Tech” initiative was to strengthen the role of women in technology by providing them with opportunities for retraining and upskilling. The project recognized that women were underrepresented in the tech industry and aimed to address this gender gap. By equipping women with the necessary skills and knowledge in technology, the initiative strived to create a more inclusive and diverse tech workforce.
After the completion of intensive courses and additional activities planned within the framework of the project, the final event was held for the beneficiaries – Employment Forum, Networking session, and “Pitch Yourself” event.
Within the framework of the project, the total number of participants trained in all three streams was 994 beneficiaries.
