About Women In Tech PGH

Women In Tech PGH (WITPGH) is at the forefront of transforming workforce development to meet the demands of today's constantly evolving technology landscape. Our mission is deeply rooted in supporting individuals from nontraditional backgrounds and underrepresented communities with programming informed by research, lived-experience, cultural competency, wellbeing, and community data.  WITPGH launched Pittsburgh’s first technical bootcamp exclusively for women and scaled to expand more advanced offerings on emerging technologies; designing custom curricula and exploratory opportunities for Golang, Kubernetes, generative AI, product management, project management, and robotics.



WITPGH engages both individuals and businesses to support a strategic vision that deepens our understanding of how evolving technologies reshape business models and influence societal structures.

Our goal is to enhance career trajectories and drive organizational success for Pittsburgh companies, fostering adaptability amidst rapid technological advancements.

Our Values

  • We're not just here to play the game; we're here to redefine it, passionately driving every action with clear, impactful intent that resonates with our mission.

  • We set the bar sky-high, not just for ourselves but for everyone who joins our journey, expecting a shared commitment to excellence, because there's no room in this work for shortcuts. We aim to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

  • Welcome to our side of the internet, where being yourself isn't just accepted, it's celebrated - because here, every unique voice strengthens our collective roar.

  • Our community is where gatekeeping meets its match – where we aim to democratize access to opportunity and knowledge; and encourage one another to author the next chapter of their own story.

  • Equity is a guiding principle, not a goal. Our approach is informed and our work is designed by those with the lived-experiences of those we serve because we base our programs off data not educated guesses. For us, Equity isn’t an add-on; it’s baked into centering people at every step ensuring our programs are reflections of the real needs of our community.

  • We cut through the noise with clear, straightforward solutions – because sometimes, the most profound impact comes from simply being brilliantly uncomplicated.
