WIT Single Mothers’ Program Graduate Success Network

The Single Mothers’ Program is not currently accepting new applicants.

Help power the next phase of support for alumni of the WIT Single Mothers’ Program

The Graduate Success Network helps alumni of the WIT Single Mothers’ Program secure their first tech job and succeed long-term. 

In the first phase of the WIT Single Mothers’ Program, participants earned certifications in cybersecurity and IT fundamentals, connected with mentors, and learned how to build strong resumes and show up confidently in job interviews. The Graduate Success Network builds on that foundation, helping alumni transition successfully into tech careers and build financial stability.

Subscribe to our free WIT Monthly newsletter to learn about WIT events and support for women interested in tech careers across industries.

DID 
YOU
KNOW?

Did you know that out of 11,000,000 single-parent households, nearly 80% are headed by SINGLE MOTHERS?

Did you know that in Georgia, we are the 3rd highest ranked state with the most SINGLE MOTHERS at 303,000 and nearly 81,000 single fathers?

Did you know that out of these SINGLE MOTHER households, 30% do not know where their next meal is going to come from, choosing between paying rent or having food on the table, being evicted or having their children go hungry?

Did you know that families headed by SINGLE MOTHERS are among the poorest households with more than a third living in poverty and are extremely vulnerable to homelessness?

Targeted training and ongoing support

The Graduate Success Network includes:

  • Monthly workshops to help alumni continue to build skills and stay competitive in their careers

  • Socials and networking events to help alumni expand their professional connections and explore new career opportunities

  • A mentorship program that pairs alumni with experienced professionals who provide valuable guidance and career advice 

  • Online resources and support groups to help alumni stay connected, build confidence, and continue their professional growth

      Connect with talented women ready to help shape the future

      WIT corporate and strategic partners help power the Graduate Success Network as well as current and new WIT programs.

      Your support helps more women launch and advance successful careers while achieving financial stability for their families.

      It’s also a valuable opportunity to connect with motivated, talented prospective employees ready to contribute, innovate, and lead.

        Anything is possible when you invest in women! I am so inspired to start my new career soon and be able to change the life of a woman in the future. I’ve found new friendships and a village that will always be there to support me. Thank you for everything! It’s an honor to be a part of this organization.”

        Allie Hunter – Fall 2023 SMP Class

        “The WIT SMP program has been a beacon of support during a challenging transition in my life as a newly single mother. It has not only restored my faith but also illuminated the vast support network available. 

        The program’s guidance has empowered me to make a significant career switch from marketing to tech, showcasing my capabilities in ways I never thought possible. Beyond the technical skills gained, WIT SMP has been instrumental in nurturing my personal and professional growth, providing a community that believes in my potential. I am profoundly grateful for the program’s transformative impact, rekindling my confidence and opening new doors in both my career and life journey.”

        Jazmen Whitaker – Fall 2021 SMP Class

        The Single Mothers’ Program has been so awesome.

        The workshops are phenomenal. This program really is a total package and a dream come true.

        I would love to have an organization just like this but expand it to young men. I planned on giving back so much to this organization and I will be volunteering soon.

        Mabel Barba – Fall 2021 SMP Class

        “WIT’s Single Mother Program checks all the boxes so we are ready to succeed. I am immensely thankful to them and to everyone who supports this organization that empowers mothers to become the best version of themselves by providing support at all levels.”

        Katina James – Fall 2021 SMP Class

        I truly am thankful for the WIT Single Mothers’ Program for this wonderful opportunity!

        I have experienced a chance to be accepted for who I was, am encouraged to pursue technology and to not have to hide my shortcomings. I feel comfortable sharing my experiences, insecurities and really feel connected with a group who is always willing to help & uplift. I honestly cannot wait to be able to give back.”
