CareerSource Broward Women in Tech Seminar

CareerSource Broward (CSBD) will host its first-ever Women in Tech Seminar on Thursday, Dec. 16, 2021, in person at the CareerSource Broward South Career Center (7550 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024). The event is part of CSBD’s programming for Broward County customers. Women in Tech will feature presentations from prolific women that have excelled in technology sectors, including Neptuno USA, Corp. CEO Leticia Latino, of Tech Hub South Florida Interim CEO Nikki Cabus and TEDx Speaker CeCe Espeut.

Over the past year, women left the workforce at much higher rates than men, and many reports show that women are not returning to the workforce at the same frequency as men. For many of these women, flexibility and working from home has gained importance – occupational retraining can provide a pathway to move into new careers and jobs in technology industries can offer this flexibility.

With over 25 Information Technology training programs that can be completed in under a year, there are opportunities to earn certifications in CompTIA A+, Amazon AWS Cloud, or become a Network Technician in a matter of months. Available scholarships can cover tuition, books and more, up to $12,000.

As part of the seminar, presenters from the School Board of Broward County, Broward College, The Academy of South Florida and New Horizons Computer Learning Centers of South Florida will join CSBD WIOA and WTP staff in explaining available programs, requirements and opportunities.
