Summary:
According to Zinnov-Intel India, women form only 26% of India’s tech workforce, a number that the program wishes to raise to 50% over the next 10 years[1]As part of Scaler Include, Scaler has set aside INR 1 crore in capital spending to help create a more diverse tech workforce in 2021. The INR 1 crore fund would offer merit-based scholarships to 1000 women to enroll in Scaler Academy. Scaler Academy aims to accelerate software engineers’ careers via a nine-month structured, flexible and guided learning program. We also understand that women might need more flexibility and have launched an industry-first ‘Course Pause’ feature, allowing women learners to pause their Scaler Academy course at no cost. Participating employers could enroll their women engineers in the contest and networking events, along with giving out merit-based scholarships to women engineers who win CodeX-For-Her, encouraging them to upskill via Scaler’s programs..
