Through this program, the JobsForHer Foundation, powered by HerKey, aims to upskill 500 women returnees in emerging technologies in the next 6 months.

The program will offer courses in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, Cyber Security, Intelligent Process Automation (IPA), Blockchain and Cloud Computing powered by companies such as Infosys Springboard, UiPath and Broadridge. The curriculum is designed to equip women in diverse job roles, making it an industry-led initiative supported by the Government of Karnataka.

 

The program was launched by Minister Priyank Kharge, Minister of IT/BT and Panchayat Raj during his keynote address at the AccelHERate conference powered by HerKey. Priyank’s insights emphasized the significance of empowering women in the tech industry and the positive impact of such initiatives on Karnataka's digital economy.

 

The launch was also graced by Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, CEO of KDEM, Rajesh Nambiar, APJ Director - Academic and Learning Alliances, UiPath and Roopashri VY, VP - Head of Learning & Development, Broadridge.

 

“The Karnataka Government stands firmly committed to supporting women in entrepreneurship, skilling, and employment. Through initiatives like Elevate, Women Elevate, Women@Work Initiative, and the newly launched 'HerShakti Program,' we are providing women with the necessary resources and support to succeed in the IT/BT sector. These efforts not only empower women but also contribute to the overall growth and diversity of our workforce. We invite all stakeholders to join us in this journey towards a more inclusive and prosperous Karnataka," said Minister Priyank Kharge.

 

Highlighting the importance of women participation in the tech industry, Neha Bagaria, Founder & CEO of Herkey and leading trustee of the JobsForHer Foundation stated, "We are thrilled to introduce the HerShakti program in a unique collaboration put together between government and industry in order to upskill women on a break in the latest technologies. The HerShakti program is a manifestation of our dedication to nurturing growth and development, empowering women from the tech industry, and making a positive impact on Karnataka's digital landscape."

 

"KDEM commends the exemplary efforts of corporates in championing inclusion and diversity. The collaboration between HerKey and KDEM in launching the HerShakti program underscores our joint commitment to empowering women in tech, paving the way for a more diverse and inclusive digital economy.
