In this landscape, the fast-growing field of software development offers some of the most lucrative and exciting career opportunities, with companies seeking those with the ability to solve 21st-century problems.
Given the gender divide that persists among software developers across the globe and the need to improve diversity in tech, women are now in higher demand than ever.

ALX Student Reviews
“ALX is the toughest and most exciting training experience I’ve ever had in my life; I have gained valuable technical skills that I plan to apply to entrepreneurial projects, aligning with my own interests of mobile development, e-commerce and fintech.”
— Kibirt Bayou | ክብርት ባዩ, Ethiopia
“As a student in the ALX Software Engineering Program, I had the opportunity to learn from my peers, was given a formal structure, and was able to acquire the skills I needed to advance in my career and my passion for software engineering.”
— Helina Abye | ሕሊና አብይ, Ethiopia
“My desire to learn software engineering has always been strong. I started out by learning on my own, and a while later a relative of mine sent me a link to ALX. I visited the website and found Fred Swaniker's video where he discussed his ambitions. That gave me the push I needed to apply, and it turned out to be the best decision I have ever made.”
