UBCO Girls in Tech
GiT init the-podcast is a program hosted by UBC Okanagan Girls in Tech (UBCO GiT), for women+ in tech from women in tech. With guests from different aspects of the technology field, we hope this series will be an informative show for those in technology and interested in technology.
About UBCO GiT: UBCO Girls in Tech provides an inclusive and welcoming space for diversity in tech. We aim to bridge the gap between women in tech-related fields and the opportunities accessible to them. Throughout the school year, we’ll be hosting a variety of events for students including career prep activities like resume and LinkedIn reviews, fun socials where we can connect with one another, workshops and programs to build your technical skills, and more. We look forward to meeting you and supporting your tech career!
