With the aim of impacting 2,400 women by the end of 2022, the program will allocate around 55% of the spots for Black women and at least 5% for trans and transgender women. Within this total number of participants, 400 women will be trained as front-end and back-end developers.
The founder of {Reprograma}, Mariel Reyes Milk, explains that the goal for next year is to connect primarily with the female audience from the North and Northeast. “These regions, unfortunately, are already socially deprived of opportunities. Our focus is to create career opportunities for girls and women who dream of having a chance and for those who connect daily with the technology field,” she comments.

Interested individuals in participating in Todas em Tech should register on the program’s website and submit a video of up to one minute in length. It is worth noting that trans and transgender women who do not feel comfortable sending videos can submit audio recordings.
The workshops aim to introduce the world of programming and development. In the front-end workshops, students will receive an introduction to HTML and CSS. In the back-end workshops, students will receive an introduction to programming logic and JavaScript.
After the workshops, 120 women will be selected for the third classes of the program: 80 for the back-end classes and 40 for the front-end class.
As a result of the learning from the workshops, students will produce a personal page to send to recruiters or clients, to encourage entry into the technology market. The online courses will start in March and will last for 18 weeks.
The spots are intended for women from any region of Brazil, with preference given to Black women and/or trans and transgender women. Registrations will close on February 4th.
