As of 2022, women hold only 26.7% of technology jobs. And compared to entry-level roles, top-management positions have an even lower representation of women. We want to drive change and support strong, ambitious women entering the tech industry.
To help, we’re excited to announce the return of our internship programme, The Bolt Outternship, designed to help women kick-start their careers and create a more equal and diverse tech future in Kenya.
To give you a better overview of the Bolt Outternship, we asked last year’s participants to share their thoughts, worries, highlights, and words of encouragement for applicants. If, after reading the article, you feel inspired to apply, you’ll find an application link at the end of the article.
Application:
The application period starts on May 3 and lasts until June 2. There will be four stages in the recruitment process:
- You begin by submitting a form where you’ll have to answer a questionnaire, select your area of interest and submit your CV;
- Selected applicants must submit a video of themselves responding to our case study in less than 2 minutes;
- We’ll conduct interviews with selected applicants;
- We’ll send offers to 5 successful candidates.
This year, the Bolt Outternship runs from July until September. It’s paid, and we don’t expect you to have a strong background in of our offer areas — we all start somewhere.
