Coding bootcamps have recently emerged
as a promising approach to equipping individuals with the
skills needed to thrive in digital economies. But despite
the potential of these training programs to prepare
graduates to compete in a changing global labor market,
women often participate at significantly lower rates. When
women do enroll, they tend to have higher dropout rates than
men. The insights in this report draw on interviews with 25
coding bootcamps and 7 digital skills programs in 22
countries. The goal is to share insights and strategies from
practitioners around the world on ways to recruit and retain
women in coding bootcamps. The report also discusses
approaches to making labor market linkages with the larger
objective of tackling the underrepresentation of women in technology. |
