Why AI?

The lack of skills in Artificial Intelligence across the Global Economy is a fact. The rapid advancement of technology has created a huge gap that is now evident in research. According to Deloitte, 68% of executives globally have moderate to significant skill gaps. Meanwhile, IBM predicts that 40% of the workforce will need reskilling by 2027 to adapt to the adoption of artificial intelligence. These numbers show us that specialized AI education is now essential for those who want to enter, stay in, and lead in the tech sector.

Why WE LEAD?

📉 Women hold less than 30% of tech positions globally, while the percentage in Greece "falls" to 20%. These numbers remain similarly low for the field of Artificial Intelligence in particular. Research shows that women are significantly underrepresented both in the professional field and in education, with men earning three times more AI-related doctoral degrees than women.

WE LEAD was founded by Libra Philanthropies to put an end to this pattern. By offering both technical and human-skills training, we are committed to helping bridge the gender gap in the tech space.

🎯 WE LEAD offers a holistic range of programs, workshops, and support services designed to empower women in tech. It’s worth noting that the first WE LEAD bootcamps held in 2023 in Front-end and Back-end Development were a huge success. Today, less than a year after completing the program, 90% of participants have had at least one job interview in the tech sector, and 75% have taken on a new tech position.
