Women engineers’ programme

A Women Engineers Program (WE), supported by Google, will train 600 women software engineers from India over the coming three years. The initiative has been taken by TalentSprint. As a part of this initiative, young and talented college students from varied socioeconomic backgrounds will be identified via a detailed selection process and groomed through a rigorous multi-step training programme, supported by 100 per cent scholarships and annual stipends of Rs 1 lakh each. 

Offered as a one-year experiential programme for women college students entering their third and fourth years, TalentSprint WE comprises summer coding bootcamps, live online classes, ongoing mentorship, certification and team-based projects to enhance problem solving and computational thinking. 

Commenting on the programme, Anand Rangarajan, Engineering Director at Google India, said: “The inclusion of women at every stage of the process to create universally relevant technology products is critical and we are committed to facilitating gender and socioeconomic diversity among software engineers worldwide. We look forward to this programme creating a large pool of promising women engineers who can bring their exceptional engineering skills to the ecosystem, and to Google. ”

Participants for the TalentSprint WE program will be chosen through a nationwide assessment.
