40 women between the ages of 18 and 30 will have the opportunity to venture into the area of Cybersecurity and Data Science, thanks to an Ideas in Action Program, developed by the United States Embassy in Costa Rica.
The program is called “Woman in Action: Employable Training Program” and will offer 24-week scholarships for the 40 beneficiaries who must be between 18 and 30 years of age and who must also have a basic command of English.
The contestants will take this program through virtual platforms, the objective of these is to fully train them in a junior position and help them open a field in the industry and the world of work.
Face-to-face, synchronous and asynchronous education strategies will also be integrated to improve the participants’ curriculum, since there are six months of the program.
Likewise, through the “blended learning” methodology, topics such as gender empowerment, leadership and, in general, sessions to improve skills for employability will be worked on, as well as complementing the training of young women in the English language.
