THE Women in tech sales (VIRTUAL) Bootcamp
HELPING TRAIN & HIRE MORE WOMEN IN TECH SALES, ONE COHORT AT A TIME
Did you know that less than 25% of tech sales positions are held by women - even less if you are a woman of colour! We created the Women in Tech Sales Bootcamp to change that - one cohort at a time.
This industry-vetted, 5-day (virtual) training program helps match women who want to pursue or advance their skills in tech sales with leading organizations looking to tap into a diverse, sales-ready talent pool.
Since it’s inception in 2018, WITS has trained over 500 women and our alumni community continues to grow and give back. On average we run 6 cohorts per year in Canada and 2 in the United States. Our 2024 Canadian dates are as follows:
January 29 - February 2
March 4 - 8
April 15 - 19
June 10 - 14
September 20 - 24
November 4 - 8
*US dates are to be announced.
All bootcamps are remote, include a career day where you interview with participating hiring partners. You will also increase your network connections and gain access to mentors and allies post-program.
The result? On average, 75% of graduates receive job offers within 30 days of completing the bootcamp program. Many of our bootcamp graduates are also now moving into leadership roles - that’s why we created our newest program - “Becoming a First Time Manager”.
“As a graduate of the Bootcamp, I can attest to the value of this [bootcamp] program - it was life changing, and connected me to some of the most amazing tech brands [and companies] in the industry that are passionate about DEI. If you’re looking to begin a career in tech sales but don’t know where to start apply to bootcamp!””
