About Rebound

Why Rebound

Women often take career breaks for various reasons (childcare, elderly care, husband’s career relocations) and often face difficulties to get back into careers with up-to-date skills that are industry-relevant from a digital perspective.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has also brought about new challenges of livelihood and sustenance for families where jobs are being lost as businesses struggle and embrace digital platforms increasingly to reduce costs and increase reach. Women may not have the necessary technology skills to embrace this coming wave of new opportunities.

Women juggling careers and families may also be looking for more lucrative options that also offers flexibility.

Whatever your reasons/story, Rebound can help you get back on your feet, reach new heights and explore new horizons.

What is Rebound?

Rebound has been designed to equip women with the relevant tools to help them transition into new careers in the tech industry or start a new venture which is more digitally enabled. Whichever the pathway you choose, Rebound aims to help put women on the path to greater industry relevance and financial independence.

The programs are delivered by industry practitioners and participants are supported by Mentors post program as they transition from knowledge to action.

Rebound was launched in October 2020 and by March 2021 we had already trained and mentored 445 participants in more than 20 programs in 2020. We wish to thank The Asia Foundation for their continued support in this next phase of our journey in 2021 are ready with even more exciting courses for 2021 to help women across the country be a part of this coming wave of change in the workplace and our lives.
