Two courses aimed at getting more women into Chattanooga-area technology jobs will roll out next month at Lamp Post Group, tied to the White House’s TechHire program.
The Tech Series for Women will teach the basics of HTML/CSS and iOS Development. In layman’s terms — and these courses are designed for those who know little or nothing about coding — the HTML course will teach the basics of Web development and creating a website. The iOS course will help attendees learn how to build apps.
Lamp Post Group is one of more than a dozen local businesses and organizations on a local TechHire task force charged with determining the needs of employers, training new workers and recruiting candidates in underrepresented communities.
Earlier this month, Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke announced that the city was launching the TechHire initiative to increase access to technology training and IT jobs for Chattanoogans.
