Practical AI skills, built around your life.
A free twelve week programme that helps migrant women in the UK build real AI and digital skills. You get a laptop, a mentor, and support into paid work.
Most training is built for people who are already ready for it. Far less is built for women starting from a harder place. Besa is for migrant women held back by the cost of a laptop, the worry of getting it wrong, or the feeling that tech was not made for them. We teach the skills that lead to real, paid work.
Free for every woman on the programme. Laptop and software included.
The whole programme, from your first lesson to ready for work.
Mentoring the whole way, from your first week to your first job.
The skills that open doors, taught in a way that fits your life.
Everyday AI skills
Use AI tools with confidence for writing, planning and solving everyday problems, the way employers now expect.
→Digital confidence
Get comfortable with the everyday tools of work, from email and documents to the platforms jobs are built on.
→Work you can show
Build a portfolio and the know-how to apply for jobs, take on freelance work, or earn from home.
→A route back to work
Whether you are returning after children or new to the UK, this is a bridge back into paid work.
→For the women we serve, and everyone who wants to help.
Women ready to build something
Stay-at-home mother, job-seeker, employed or self-employed, if you are a migrant woman in the UK who wants to build digital skills, there is a place for you. Every place is free, and the laptop is yours to use.
Partners and employers
Employers and community partners can offer work experience, hire our graduates, or help support a cohort. Together we turn new skills into real jobs.
Every place is free, with nothing to pay, ever.
Besa is a not-for-profit, so the women on the programme never pay a penny. It stays that way, for everyone.
