Business leaders’ Federation Women For Tomorrow on Saturday announced that the public competition for girls to take a 6-week free computer science course had ended, with the Federation selecting the best 25 participants from 3,500 applicants.
At the project’s opening ceremony, the finalists were addressed by Nina Kobakhidze, the Head of the Supervisory Board of Women For Tomorrow and Pavle Mgeladze, the Executive Director of the re:Invent company, with Kobakhidze highlighting the promotion of education for girls and women as the “most important priority” of the Federation.
Kobakhidze said programming and technology in general were “one of the fastest growing” and the “most demanded” fields in the world. The Women For Tomorrow is giving a “good chance” for girls to “respond to market demands”, make a “conscious decision” about their future and get employed in “high-paying” positions, as knowledge is a “good basis” for women’s economic empowerment and this project is “one more step on this path”, she added.
