GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A 12-week coding education program in Grand Rapids this fall is focused on increasing the number of women in the technology industry.
Women make up 57 percent of the workforce in the U.S., but fill only 25 percent of tech jobs, according to Detroit-based tech firm Grand Circus.
