Inside, you’ll find: Mentorship from women who’ve been there Live events and skill-building workshops Hands-on cohorts & online courses A safe space to ask questions, get feedback, and stay accountable AWIT Hub isn’t just another tech group, it’s a space where you’re supported, seen, and celebrated.
