Introducing

She Codes Plus

The Plus course is a collaboration between She Codes and BHP to provide an alternate pathway for women to enter tech careers. Plus is offered on a part-time basis, outside of business hours. Participants will undertake four unique projects focussed on building an enterprise web application using HTML/CSS, Python, Django and React JS. No prior experience is necessary. Round 1 of Plus is currently underway, with a cohort of 25 committed for Perth in early 2020, and in Brisbane for 20 women in 2020.

FAQ

Where will this be held?

The course is a blend of online and in person content - hosted at Riff 45 St Georges Tce.

What does this cost?

Do I have to be based in Perth?

What are the minimum requirements?

You will need to provide your own laptop, preferably one you have access to outside of business hours, and have admin rights for.
You will also need to be available Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings for the duration July-December. If you miss a week here or there that is ok - just let us know in your application which weeks you are missing.
You need to identify as female or non-binary

That's it! We are not looking for any kind of previous experience, we are most interested in your passion for tech.

Do I have to be there every week?

Why is it just for women?

What experience do I need to have?

What do I get at the end of it?

She Codes is not a registered training organisation, so you won’t receive a certificate like university or TAFE, however you will receive mentoring and support from the best of the industry in Perth, and have the tangible skills needed to get a career in tech.

She Codes Plus combines in-person and virtual mentoring to furnish participants with the essentials required to pursue or complement their existing careers in technology-focussed roles.
