The #WomeninTech program was launched in 2021 by Bolt with the aim of empowering young women who are interested in undertaking careers in the tech field.
The program is designed to train, mentor and empower young women by offering placements across various departments including Operations, Engineering, Public Policy, PR and Marketing. The young women will also be paired with women in Bolt leadership, to mentor and guide them as they go through the 3 months program.
In 2022, Bolt offered 4 young women the opportunity to take part in the internship program and this gave them a chance to contribute to the growth of the ride-hailing industry in the market by being part of various departments.
