<div>Women In Cloud Cloud Scholarship Fund: Champion her ambition - give $250 and pave the way for a woman to achieve cloud certification.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of 2020, only 14.2 percent of people in the cloud computing industry were women – a number that is not improving. We believe that economic growth should be inclusive, reaching every person, organization, community, and country. And it all starts with increasing access to digital skills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://womenincloud.com/workforce/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Women in Cloud</a> recognized the importance of cloud certification to build an inclusive workforce and had the reach, approach, partnerships, and engine to make a meaningful impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1) We embarked on a journey to test three hypotheses:
</div>
<div>2) What does it take for women to be job-ready in cloud technologies?
</div>
<div>3) What partnerships do we need to deliver micro-credentials and hands-on learning experiences? What wrap-around services do women need to succeed, including partnerships with Coursera, Universities, and Tech Companies?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through our experimentation, we learned that it takes $6000 to provide the necessary services for women/anyone to be job-ready. However, this approach was expensive and not easily scalable. Determined to find a solution, we reverse-engineered a pathway to access $100K Cloud Tech Jobs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Collaborating with the Community, we identified what it takes to achieve cloud tech certification and devised a plan to make it possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After distributing 2500 scholarships in just 15 months across 65 countries, we are thrilled to announce a breakthrough – women can now become technically certified on Microsoft Cloud products for just $250.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Introducing the #WICxCloudScholarship Fund, where our mission is to empower as many women as possible to become technically certified and pursue lucrative tech roles. We believe that giving is a calling, and giving smart is a choice. But that's not all. We made it affordable, tax-deductible, and sustainable. This will allow every individual to contribute to the Cloud and AI Workforce Development and make Tech Industry Inclusive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No donation is too small to make a life-changing impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's why we offer a variety of tax-smart giving options for your 2023 donations to maximize their effect:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Save on taxes and make an impact: Make a $250+ gift and receive a tax rebate and sponsor a woman to become cloud certified.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We invite you to champion her ambition and pave the way for a woman to achieve cloud certification.
</div>
<div>Together, we can create a more inclusive and diverse future in the tech industry.
</div>
<div>Join the #WICxCloudScholarship Fund today.
