A DIGITAL FUTURE WHERE WOMEN FEEL EMPOWERED TO WORK IN TECH
The world has gone digital, and is turning every company into a “tech” company. Job communication, collaboration and evaluation relies more and more on code, algorithms, and optimization. We have become a society where job stability, earning power, and preferred status often goes to those with jobs connected to the software development cycle.
Where does that leave people who warn to learn more, earn more, and take an active part in shaping their digital future? Without the right knowledge networks, many women feel excluded, ill-equipped, or unsupported in their workplace.
FrauenLoop offers a diverse network of women tech professionals who train motivated, women-identified persons in computer programming. We teach women from all different backgrounds what it takes to build a lasting career in tech.
For years, I used to tinker with the résumés of fellow PhD’s in the US to help make them attractive to corporate recruiters. Fast-forward to today, and a significant percentage of FrauenLoop applicants are women with MAs or PhDs. If you’re a woman in an academic field who wants to transition into tech, these 3 things can maximize your chance of success.
The return to work after a long absence is full of indignities and isolation. Would-be returnees of any gender discover that no one cares what you did in the good old days. Skills from more than a year ago are considered "too old" and, if you're not savvy about self-marketing, you could be seen that way too.

“Because it was organized by women for women, I had the feeling that the vibe was somehow different from other meetups, like every person there felt like they had a seat at the table.”
“I never thought that being from another nationality would affect the life you have. It shouldn’t matter. Here (at FrauenLoop) it doesn’t matter. It’s okay to be you. It’s like the new world: people actually value the tiniest idea that you have. In this program, you can start from the beginning and it’s okay. ”
