Chennai: TalentSprint recently announced the launch of the third cohort of the pioneering Women Engineers Program (WE) with support from Google.
A press release said, given the highly encouraging industry acceptance for previous cohort participants, the third cohort is being scaled up to accommodate 500 participants. The cohort is aimed at first year women engineering students across India and will commence from May 2021.
Shiv Venkataraman, vice president, Search Ads at Google, said, “For tech to truly fulfil the promise of levelling the playing field and creating universally relevant solutions, the representation of women in tech organisations is key. The success of the previous cohorts has encouraged us to scale the program further and we are very happy to be extending support to TalentSprint to take this program to the next level”.
Santanu Paul, co-founder and CEO at TalentSprint, said, “The TalentSprint WE program was conceived in collaboration with Google in 2019. The program has been growing from strength to strength in the last two years, and received overwhelming interest from industry, academia, and young women students both for its unique design and exceptional student outcomes”.
Young women engineering students are encouraged to learn more about TalentSprint WE program at we.talentsprint.com and apply if they are eligible. Applications will close on 21 March, 2021.
