This is an area where women are traditionally underrepresented so many women dismiss it because of the perceived barriers to entry and the under-representation of females in the space.

The Holberton School Australia is a new school which is making women – and men – who wouldn’t normally consider a job in IT, consider these types of roles. Holberton School is a dedicated computer science school originally founded in Silicon Valley in 2016 to bridge the gap in the education system for software engineers. With branches in quite a few countries now, the Australian branch started operating early this year, offering the software engineering foundations course.
What’s different about the Holberton School? Well, it takes a new approach to software engineering and in fact, the school makes it possible to become a fully-fledged software engineer in around nine months. There’s a lot of hands-on training and working in groups with other students, and the end result is the students are capable of working as software engineers. All up it’s an attractive proposition for many young people because it’s an interesting job and one of the advantages is software engineers are well paid.
