“Obstacles and opportunities for women in software development in Nigeria”

Objective: Connecting women interested/ active in software development with women experts in the tech industry.
Expected number of attendees: 20
NESA and Cranium One are hosting the first FemTech Fireside Chat to bring together young women interested in tech careers with role models from the field. The goal is to share success stories of opportunities waiting for women in tech. There are still relatively few women in Nigeria who consider software development careers and we want to create mentorship opportunities to encourage more to do so. NESA, a New Economy Skills Accelerator is a lagos-based software development school that offers job placement upon program completion. Applications for the first NESA cohort are currently open. Classes are set to begin at the end of June and NESA is particularly interested in supporting young women wanting to become successful software developers.
