    Tech keeps saying it wants more women. The numbers suggest it’s still not doing enough to keep them. That’s the bigger issue. Because this isn’t just a pipeline problem. It’s a pattern: fewer women entering, fewer being promoted, more being laid off, and far too many deciding the industry simply isn’t worth the fight. A few hard truths here: ✨ Representation still drops the higher you go ✨ Retention problems are exposing culture problems ✨ Mentorship, sponsorship, and pay equity still aren’t where they need to be ✨ AI may be the next opportunity—but also the next place the gap widens And maybe that’s the real frustration: tech loves to talk about the future, while repeating some very old workplace habits. You can’t build an industry on innovation while treating inclusion like an optional feature. Read the full article for a closer look at the structural issues still pushing women out of tech—and why that should concern everyone. https://lnkd.in/ggJh9FYp #WomenInTech #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #AI #FutureOfWork

  • Most people are using AI. Very few people are actually building with it. That shift—from consuming to creating—is where things change: confidence, opportunity, and what you’re able to bring to life. That’s what we focus on in this class. Join us tomorrow for the AI Essentials series. Hands-on practice, supportive community, and a place to experiment, explore, and build. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/ek7hjuH8

  • We keep hearing the same thing from people lately: “I know I should probably learn AI… I just don’t know where to start.” And then it turns into… not starting. Staying in the same routines. Doing things the same way. Not because you want to—but because trying something new feels like a lot. That’s why this class has been working so well. It’s just a place to try. No pressure to be good at it. No expectation that you already understand anything. You show up, you mess around with it, you build something small—and then it starts to click. It becomes real. That shift—from stuck to starting—is everything. AI Essentials starts Tuesday, April 21 Tuesdays & Saturdays | April 21 – May 9 If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, this is a good place to begin: https://lnkd.in/ek7hjuH8

  • Around 70% of professionals have experimented with AI in some way. But far fewer feel confident using it in a meaningful, practical way. That gap—between exposure and confidence—is where so many people are right now. It’s also why this class is so important right now. It’s not about theory. It’s about practice. Building. Trying things out. Learning in a way that actually sticks. And doing it with a community that supports the process.

  • AI is quickly becoming a baseline skill—not just for technical roles, but across industries. And yet, most people are still trying to figure out how to actually use it in their day-to-day work. That gap is real. It’s also why this has become our most popular class. It’s hands-on. Practical. And built for people who want to move from curiosity to application—without feeling overwhelmed. Participants don’t just leave with knowledge. They leave having built something, tested ideas, and gained tools they can immediately use. AI Essentials starts April 21 Series runs Tuesdays & Saturdays through May 9 You can learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ek7hjuH8

  • Most people are already using AI. But not many people are using it well. They’re: → typing one question → taking the first answer → and moving on Which means they’re missing the real value. Because AI isn’t just for getting quick answers. It’s a tool for: ✔️ working through complex problems ✔️ analyzing your own data ✔️ and making clearer, more confident decisions That’s what this class focuses on. Not just how to use AI—but how to actually think with it in your day-to-day work. If you’ve felt like you’re only scratching the surface, you probably are. We’ll show you how to use AI to think more clearly, analyze your work, and make better decisions. 🔗 Register today: https://lnkd.in/eX8DCKPA #girldevelopit #codeconfidencecommunity #learnAI #gofurther #techcurious #safespace #virtualclass

It’s about using the right tools to do your best work. Sign up today and learn how to do just that. https://lnkd.in/eX8DCKPA #girldevelopit #codeconfidencecommunity #UseAI #AIBasicsandBeyond #GetMore #VirtualClass #onlinelearning #safespace #professionaldevelopment
