Wow! this is interesting. Is this program completely online??
Well... so this program is for women of colors only?
"YWeb Career Academy is designed to help women of color enter the tech field as web developers. "
I hope they will let me join this program
I don't want to miss that 7 college credits!

It looks like registration is closed? At least, when I try to sign up, there is no way to actually do so.

They said the course will start some time in Jan 2021. Let's wait until they return from holiday break.

It also says orientation was at the beginning of December. Fingers crossed that we can still register anyway. 7 free RA credits would be nice.

I think it's completely ok to miss their orientation... hopefully they will let us join in. Their college admins will return by Jan 3rd.

I found an article about this on Oakton's site: https://www.oakton.edu/newsevents/news/2020/12/ywca_evanston1203.php It says it starts on January 4th. The last line of the article says that there will be another program in April.

I just got their response. They said the next virtual orientation will be held in March. You can register for their new orientation on January 10th!

I'm still waiting for their virtual orientation.
