Between now and Giving Tuesday on 11/28/2023, LebNet will be showcasing several impactful initiatives and its plans to expand these programs and grow their impact. We start off by spotlighting the Fellowship program. The LebNet Fellowship program is dedicated to empowering Lebanese women in tech students, offering them essential support to unlock their skills, establish a strong foundation for success, and become market-ready. This year, we successfully graduated 25 tech students. Looking ahead, our goal for the upcoming year is to expand this initiative to include 100 students. Invest in the future of Lebanese in tech.
