Code First Girls Podcast
Code First Girls is on a mission to close the gender gap in the tech industry by providing employment through free education. We’ve already helped more than 200,000 women learn to code and by working with companies globally, we’re boosting employability, diversity and social mobility, transforming local economies and communities. Our #REPRESENT podcast was launched to give our community role models of women and non-binary people who are killing it in the world of tech. We want our community to hear from women like themselves represented in top positions, inspiring them to push their careers and aspire to leadership positions once they've got their foot in the door.
