Code First Girls partnered with BT to deliver a customised coding curriculum to selected female candidates from our community.
BT employs over 100,000 employees globally and is growing rapidly across the tech sector. Talent leaders were simply not finding enough women to hire into technology roles. In consultation with BT, Code First Girls created a customised programme called furtHer.
Code First Girls screened, interviewed and selected highly engaged candidates from our community of women. The candidates were trained by Code First Girls, using a customised curriculum. At the end of the training BT successfully placed the women into technology roles across the UK.
This is a life-changing programme. It allows women to have the opportunity to move into technology.
