The digital employment company, Jobandtalent, and Ironhack, the school of technology and digital design, join to offer training grants worth 300,000 euros and promote technological talent in Spain, eliminating barriers to entry in the digital sector. Candidates for these #BecasJobandtalent will be able to obtain six full scholarships valued at €7,000 each and other partial grants worth €1,500 to complete €300,000 in training.

The objective is to make it easier for anyone to reinvent their professional profile by training in Web Development, UX / UI Design or Data Analytics. With this initiative they want to eliminate barriers to access to employment, offering technology training and counteracting the gender inequality gap in the technology sector. Both companies have in common an entrepreneurial root and a strong commitment to promote employment.

"We bet on the development of great professionals in technical areas, with the aim of promoting the growth of technology companies, breaking gender barriers and promoting employment," said Álvaro López-Cotelo, head of the Ironhack Madrid campus. Therefore, "Although everyone can participate, we will especially support women," he has sentenced.

Candidates who pass the selection process, obtain the scholarship and enroll in the program, may attend specific sessions on employment, presentations with women experts in the technology sector and networking events.

"From Jobandtalent we have strongly committed to training talents under this system, since they are trained to work from the first day and we want a large part of the students of this initiative to pass on to our technical team," says Felipe Navío, Co-founder of Jobandtalent.

The deadline to apply for the scholarship has begun on March 5th until the 12th of the same month.
