Episode 9: Coding Careers for Women.
<p>This month I am joined by two of the funniest guest's I've had to date, Laura Hartnett and Raevynna El Messaoudi (Raven), both of whom were part of the first iteration of the Coding Careers for Women initiative and have gained not only a new career but a life long friendship. Raven and Laura have both had such an inspiring journey in the space of a year, and in this episode we cover the highs, lows and everything in between on this journey in such an honest and relatable way. I hope this episode inspires a lot of you but most importantly makes you laugh as much as I did throughout. Enjoy :) If you want to follow in Laura and Raven's footsteps and take the plunge, check out our courses <a href="https://bit.ly/43NJOWp">here</a> and set up a call with one of our education advisors! Otherwise, why not try our free Five Day Coding Challenge <a href="https://bit.ly/44SF6be">here</a>! Good luck :) </p>
