Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has partnered with UNICEF for an initiative aimed at training 300,000 girls in blockchain technology across eight countries. The goal of this program is to close the existing gender gap in technology education by 2027.
Goals of the Program
The initiative aims to address the gender divide in technology education. By providing training in blockchain skills, the program opens up career opportunities for girls in a rapidly growing sector that influences finance, supply chains, and more.
How the Program Works
The program includes:
* Community workshops: in-person sessions led by trainers * Online modules: accessible global learning * Mentorships: peer and expert support to aid student retention.
Each of the eight countries will implement programs tailored to local needs, ensuring practical outcomes and inclusive participation.
Local Impact and Training Pathways
Bitget and UNICEF focus on contexts where girls often lack digital access. The training occurs in underserved regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Participation in this initiative provides not only knowledge but also access to tech ecosystems and communities.
The initiative to train 300,000 girls in blockchain skills is a significant step toward closing the gender gap in technology and fostering inclusive digital economies. The program aligns with the UN's broader goals for gender equality.
