We are offering 5 scholarships for the GeneXus Core Lab Course to female students from UDEM

Interested candidates must submit an essay on "The Future of Technology from a Woman's Perspective" by November 1, 2024.

GeneXus and the University of Monterrey (Mexico) have partnered to offer 5 exclusive scholarships to female students at UDEM who are interested in developing software solutions using the GeneXus Low-Code platform. The scholarships will cover the GeneXus Core Lab course, where the winners will learn how to use GeneXus from scratch. Upon successfully completing the course, participants will earn the GeneXus 18 Junior Analystcertification, which is internationally recognized and will grant them access to job opportunities with thousands of companies that use GeneXus worldwide.

The GeneXus Core Lab course is online and will be taught in Spanish. Participants will have access to a Learning Management System (LMS), real-time online classes, practical projects, and personalized guidance from experts. It is recommended that applicants have basic knowledge of programming and databases. Those lacking this knowledge can catch up by studying the content " Computer Systems overview".

"At GeneXus, we strongly believe in the transformative potential of technology and the importance of empowering more women to take an active role in this ever-growing industry. With the GeneXus Core Lab course, we aim to provide the necessary tools for them to not only learn how to develop software but also to access job opportunities that will boost their careers and contribute to the technological development of Mexico and the world," said Rebeca García, Country Manager for GeneXus in Mexico.

This giveaway is part of Purple Week, an initiative created in observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, commemorated annually on November 25. Throughout this week, activities are held to raise awareness and promote respect for women's rights.

"Everyone forges their own path; nothing and no one can stop us from achieving our goals. With courage and values, anything is possible," added Dr. María del Consuelo Jiménez Fernández, Head Professor at UDEM's Department of Computer Science.
