SmartCoding

Co-founders of SmartCoding are women experienced in IT sector and business.Our mission is to promote equality by empowering and guiding women in IT. SmartCoding brings a dedicated solution to the "women in IT" challenge by providing niche education programs which combine hands-on learning, mentoring, career coaching and a lot of fun, but most importantly - it is free of charge! Our courses will be held in centrally located classrooms, fully equipped with the necessary hardware and software for educational needs. All courses are held in English and carried out by both foreign and Swedish IT teachers. Through simulating real IT environment the participants will work on real IT problems/tasks/projects given by our partners - large companies or startups. That will allow participants to practice their skills with hands-on learning experiences also help them build their real projects’ portfolio. We want to make our courses as practical as possible, so that graduates (once they enter the job market) may already present some of their programming assignments. Co-working on real-life IT projects/products will support startups in the product development phase and give a chance to, later on, get graduates as software development interns or employees. Supporting large companies will help them with filling the gender gap in their IT teams and resolve software developers’ shortage. Thanks to our partnerships with public and private entities, we can guarantee our graduates internships, short-term assignments, and/or direct links to job offers. If you want to become a sponsor, partner, mentor or guest lecturer please contact us on team@smartcoding.se Our first pilot course was held in Stockholm April-July 2018. Since then, we have been offering more programming courses on two levels: beginner and junior.
