Description
At this event, you’ll learn about the new Code to Career program and meet other community builders and current and aspiring tech professionals. Together, we’ll explore how we can work together to build a connected, supportive, and inclusive local tech economy.
Code to Career is a new national skilling initiative that subsidizes Software Engineering bootcamps to provide training to individuals in Canada who have been historically and currently are underrepresented in the tech sector.
- Learn about the new Code to Career program by Canada Learning Code and BrainStation funded by Upskill Canada [powered by Palette Skills] and the Government of Canada
- Network and build connections with those who are excited about local potential for a growing tech economy, inclusive of those working directly within tech and those in other sectors
- Dig deeper into the many career pathways available to software engineering professionals during a panel discussion, from front and back-end development to data engineering, app development, security engineering, and beyond
- Understand how skills from outside the realm of software engineering can contribute to success in tech and for the sector at large
