Women Who Code, a US-based non-profit which helps women develop their digital skills, will launch its first Irish branch in Dublin on Thursday, November 12.

The organisation's first Dublin event will take place at the Zendesk Dublin Office from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The event will aim to welcome the community.

Women Who Code is best known for its free events giving lessons in subjects including coding, interview techniques and tips on acquiring tech jobs, for participants of any skill level.

Speaking at Inspirefest 2015, Women Who Code founder Sheree Atcheson said: "Women in the tech industry come to our events to mentor but also to brush up on their skills. Some of our members include university students who don't feel comfortable standing up at lectures to say they don't understand something. There is a great social aspect to it and that's why it flairs so strongly all over the world."
