THE Women in tech sales (VIRTUAL) Bootcamp
Training & hiring MORE WOMEN IN TECH SALES, ONE COHORT AT A TIME
Did you know that one of the most in-demand careers in tech is sales? Sadly however, less than 25% of tech sales positions are held by women. We created the Women in Tech Sales Bootcamp (WITS) to change that - one cohort at a time!
This industry-vetted, 5-day (virtual) training program helps upskill women who want to pursue or advance their skills in tech sales and matches them with leading organizations ready to hire.
Since its inception in 2018 WITS has trained over 650 women and growing. Our bootcamps are remote and include a virtual hiring event where you will have the opportunity to interview with some of the top firms in North America like Softchoice, Clio, Accenture and many more. You will also gain access to coaches, mentors and allies during and after the program.
The result? We’re moving the dial on women in tech sales. On average, 75% of WITS graduates receive at least one job offer within 30 days of completing the bootcamp program. To date, our Platinum Hiring Partner Softchoice has hired over 75 women from the program alone. You will also get connected with like-minded women, allies, coaches, mentors and make valuable network connections throughout the week that will last you a lifetime.
