Laboratoria

Laboratoria works to unlock inclusive economic mobility by connecting women from low-income backgrounds with the skills, confidence, and networks they need to thrive in the AI era.
Throughout the past decade, Laboratoria has helped 10,000+ women in 11 countries fight systemic barriers and find meaningful work in tech. Laboratoria’s model focuses on the critical skills and growth networks that enhance employability. The model also enriches participants’ existing competencies to strengthen their position in the job market.

“Laboratoria is much more than an organization that supports women in their job search … It has become a space for growth, accompaniment, and well-being.”
