Vonage has a renewed partnership with Girls Who Code, an international nonprofit organisation working to close the gender gap in tech.
Vonage will partner with Girls Who Code to deliver the summer Pathways Program, an intensive virtual summer experience designed to equip high school students with critical computer science skills and exposure to real-world tech careers.
Dr. Jackie Blizzard-Caron, Vice President, Education for Girls Who Code has said:
“Vonage’s commitment to our students is a testament to their dedication to helping young people develop the skills they need to thrive in tech. We are grateful for their support and participation in our summer program by mentoring students and helping them learn what a career in tech can look like and the opportunities that are available to help them define their career paths.”
The comprehensive curriculum tracks include:
- Web Development
- Cybersecurity
- AI
- Data Science, and
- Game Design
Students gain hands-on coding experience while learning directly from industry leaders and partners.
Vonage will provide virtual and onsite mentorship and expertise in the areas of network powered solutions and communications APIs throughout the summer Pathways curriculum. These expert-driven, hands-on sessions will arm Girls Who Code students with early exposure and first-hand experience with the technologies of the future.
Neelam Sandhu, Chief Marketing Officer at Vonage, comments:
“Vonage is delighted to partner with Girls Who Code. Enabling access to advanced, STEM-focused education programs for the workforce of the future through globally recognised organisations like Girls Who Code is key to equipping the next generation of developer talent. We are proud to support programs that empower young builders with network powered solutions and enable a more connected, sustainable future.”
