Grandmothers In Tech, Exploration GITE The Work It Well Project concludes that intergenerational wellness and economic empowerment is a keystone to healthy families. This program is designed for older adults to build skills in technology, while being brought to speed with today's ever changing essentials- especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic, where so much of our personal and professional connections happen online. The GITE program goals include computer competency that ranges from basic skills to advancing in technical career pathways that strengthens income potential and keeps them up to speed, well and relevant.
Simultaneously this program bolsters diversity in the Tech industry, training older women who offer an incredible amount of experience and wisdom to companies and to their families. More funding will allow us to grow our partnerships, provide the most up to date curriculum, and outreach to more grandmothers who are ready to gain new skills and make a difference in their personal and professional life.
All grandmothers matter to us. We want all grandmothers well, economically empowered, up to speed and inspired to win for them and their generation. GITE is a unique initiative where old and young grandmothers unite and participate in an empowerment program. Our objective is to unite & inspire vulnerable populations of young and innovative grandmothers with skills development, economic empowerment, health wellness, resources and bring them up to speed of today's fast-growing technology resources that can keep them, and their families, healthy, economically empowered, and safe. We are also introducing grandmothers raising their grandchildren and young and older grandmothers, to technology career exploration and entrepreneurship as a supplement, along with coaching and mentoring around their health, wellness, barrier replacement, Covid-19 and more. We want to make grandmothers great again by helping them reach their goals, while helping our leaders who have fallen behind or may fall through cracks in a society that under appreciates our elders.
