Empowering Women in Tech: Women ReBOOT Innovation Pitch at Guidewire Dublin
On March 19, 2025, Dr Roisin Donnelly attended the Women ReBOOT Live Innovation Pitch at Guidewire Software Dublin Headquarters—a milestone event in our collaboration with Technology Ireland DIGITAL Skillnet’s Women ReBOOT programme, which Technological University Dublin accredited in December 2024. This initiative is a powerful example of how industry-aligned career re-entry programmes can create meaningful opportunities for experienced professionals looking to re-enter the workforce.
By accrediting Women ReBOOT with a 15 ECTS Certificate in Career Development, TU Dublin is supporting professionals in refreshing their skills, regaining confidence, and reconnecting with career opportunities in the technology sector and beyond.
The Innovation Pitch is a standout feature of the programme, giving participants the opportunity to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities, creativity, and strategic thinking in front of industry professionals. This real-world experience not only equips them with industry-relevant skills but also underscores the importance of authentic assessment in university-accredited short courses.
Collaborations like these demonstrate the transformative impact of university-enterprise partnerships in fostering inclusive talent pipelines and shaping the future of work.
