Bolt #Drive4WITech 2022 is here!
Bolt is looking to create more opportunities for women in tech.
There have been many constraints on women due to various factors in the industry.
Tech is seen as a male-dominated industry; however, women are beginning to take up roles.
Through the help of initiatives like #Drive4WITech, many more women can take roles in the industry.
They would have the opportunity to intern with Bolt.
And they would have access to top Bolt executives and young women across Africa, learning from them.
Bolt had launched the program in 2021 to improve overall gender equality in the mobility sector.
After its launch, it recorded success with a massive number of participants.
Also, at the end of the program, Bolt retained some interns for a full-time position in its company.
However, with its 2022 programs, Bolt plans to do more than it did in the previous year.
This aims further to bridge the gender gap in the technological sector.
