At Andela, we’re committed to gender equality and empowering women to take center stage. In a male-dominated industry like technology, we understand how difficult it can be for women to gain the recognition and success they deserve. We’ve created the Women Lift Women webinar series to offer female technologists the chance to learn from the best. Join our female leaders at Andela as they share their stories, offer guidance, and inspire through their insights. In these regular sessions, our female Andelan’s will support you with tips and tricks to succeed and advice on how to grow your career.
