Bumble Introduces Paid Six-Month Software Engineering Program for Women

(EU Based)

Bumble, a rare women-led tech company, is launching an inaugural technical training program to help address this inequity and provide access to those typically excluded from the industry. We’ve partnered with CodeOp, an international tech school for women and folks from marginalized genders, to create the Bumble Tech Academy.

The program, launching in October, will offer a small cohort of eight women six months of paid, rigorous training in full-stack development and Android mobile development. No technical experience or background is needed, just an interest in coding and the desire to learn.
