“From Uncertainty to Opportunity: My Tech Journey 🚀 Last year, I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I felt completely lost. But then I found SheCodes, and everything changed. Fast forward I’ve earned two tech certifications, started an internship, and I’m now pursuing a formal qualification in Information Technology! There were moments I nearly gave up on myself. But choosing to take a chance on tech changed everything. To top it all off, I was crowned Miss Teenager Gauteng all during this transition. I’m deeply grateful for my gap year. It gave me clarity, growth, and a new direction. Thank you, SheCodes, for helping me discover the power I had all along. 💻👑 #SheCodes #WomenInTech #MissTeenagerGauteng #TechJourney #FromLostToFound #GapYearGrowth #BlackGirlsInTech #GirlsWhoCode #InternshipJourney”

“When I joined SheCodes, I felt directionless, with not much happening in my life during my gap year. I’m genuinely grateful to have been accepted into this program. I had read about it beforehand, and throughout the year, I’d been doing tech research and work, but I never expected to find such a supportive and helpful environment. Now, my fears and doubts have disappeared, and I feel confident about pursuing a career in tech. Thanks to SheCodes, I’m ready to step into IT next year. The foundational courses were manageable with SheCodes support, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I’d definitely recommend this program to anyone in a similar position.”
