RESKILL FOR ENTRY-LEVEL TECH ROLES
Employees who demonstrate the required potential can then join a high-intensity course designed to provide the knowledge and skills for employees to be redeployed into entry-level tech roles.

“The influence from the growing demand for tech and the supportive community CFG provided through the instructors and attendees was one of the defining factors behind me doing the CFGdegree. As a part-time course, it allowed me to balance working and learning how to become a Full-Stack Engineer. Since taking the CFGdegree, it has not only impacted me to now being an Award Winning Software Engineer, but has led me to a network of amazing women who I can rely on for support and advice throughout my tech career.”
