Techtonica

Techtonica provides free tech training, living and childcare stipends, laptops, and job placement to women and non-binary adults in need in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Techtonica’s full-time software engineering apprenticeship program is six months long. Participants are assigned mentors and work with many experienced volunteers. The training focuses on full-stack web development using JavaScript and consists of hands-on projects built with other participants. The last month of training is customized to prepare participants for placement in jobs with Techtonica partners.

Entry to the Techtonica program is competitive – applicants should be self-motivated, resilient, logical, hardworking, and ready to make sacrifices. Applicants must be a woman or non-binary, feminine-adjacent adult, digitally literate, earn less than $50,000 a year, and have lived in the Bay Area for at least one year.
