TalentSprint, a global edtech company and a market leader in transformational deep-tech programs, today announced the fourth edition of its Women Engineers (WE) program. Google has supported the program since its inception in line with its commitment to engage, enable, and empower women across the technology spectrum through focused initiatives.
The key objective of WE is to enable enterprising and aspiring women students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds to prepare for high-growth tech careers. This year the program aims to identify and prepare 250 first-year women students to become globally competitive software engineers. The program will provide a fully-funded 100% tuition scholarship and a stipend to every selected student.
The lack of adequate diversity, equity, and inclusion in the global technology sector, in particular the low representation of women, is now a mainstream concern. Precisely to address this issue, TalentSprint conceived of the WE program four years ago. The earlier three cohorts of the program have been extremely successful with over 55,000 applicants applying for 500 seats. WE alumni have received 100 per cent placements in over 50 global tech companies, with an average salary of 3x the market median and the highest compensation of 54 lakhs per annum. This is a testament that the WE program is a transformational platform for young women students who wish to catapult themselves into rewarding global careers.
