She Codes

She Codes is a community of women software engineers, established in 2013, offering a boot camp-style training programme for women that culminates in placement assistance into a hi-tech position. The programme is tailored to the needs of woman’s lifestyle, emphasizing self-paced learning. She Codes’ model is similar to a student loan programme where the participant begins to repay the loan once they are placed into a role. Over the past decade, She Codes has accumulated extensive knowledge and experience in large-scale training programmes through which they have conducted training for tens of thousands of participants.

Today, women hold only 23% of the technology jobs in Israel. These jobs are some of the best paid in Israel, with potential for financial growth. By not being sufficiently represented in this sector, women are being excluded from these economic opportunities and mobility. She Codes’ goal is that 50% of technology positions in Israel will be held by women. Si3 investment is focused specifically on young women from the geographic periphery, especially evacuees and residents of the north and south with no previous technological experience or education.
