TechWomen provides participants access to networks, resources and knowledge to empower them to reach their full potential.<br />During the five-week program, participants engage in project-based mentorships at leading companies in the San Francisco Bay Area, participate in <a href="https://www.techwomen.org/program/professional-development">professional development</a> workshops and networking events, and travel to Washington, DC. for targeted meetings and special events to conclude the program.<br />Over the past seven years, more than 600 women from Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Palestinian Territories, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Yemen and Zimbabwe have participated in TechWomen.<br /><h2>Mentoring Across the World</h2>The TechWomen experience doesn’t end in California or Washington, DC.
