Mercado Livre Offers 1200 Scholarships for Technology Course. The Goal Is to Reduce Gender Inequality in the Sector, with Half of the Spots Reserved for Black, Brown, and Indigenous Women

Mercado Livre, the e-commerce giant, launched the Conectadas program, developed in partnership with the Argentine organization Chicas en Tecnología and the Brazilian {reprograma}. The course aims to reduce gender inequality in the technology sector and will provide 1200 scholarships for girls aged 14 to 18 in Latin America.

The 1200 scholarships offered by Mercado Livre will include a four-month online immersion, divided into 12 meetings. Participants will learn about digital transformation, problem-solving, UX, business development, and digital marketing.

There will be four classes with 200 spots in total, and half of them will be reserved for Black, Brown, and Indigenous girls. Mercado Livre wants to spark an interest in technology among girls from an early age and bring more women into the job market in the future.

Mariel Reyes Milk, Founder and CEO of {reprograma}, says that the initiative will help break false paradigms and show that careers in technology are also for women.

“There is a social and cultural history that prevents women, from childhood, from believing that they can work in technology. Research shows that starting at the age of 6, girls begin to think they are not good at math, creating an intellectual mindset that computers are just for boys,” she explains.

Requirements to Apply for Mercado Livre Scholarships: Time and commitment of 7 hours per week and a willingness to learn. No prior knowledge in the field is required to participate, but spots are limited.

Mercado Livre Registration: Registrations will be open until July 1, at this link.
