​Empowering girls

As the first to bring the Girls Who Code technology coding club to Charleston, we're financially empowering girls, by preparing them for high-paying technology careers.

In its Annual Wage & Job Growth Survey, the Charleston Digital Corridor announced that the average per-capita wage at companies participating in its 2021 survey were $101,710: an increase from the previous year average of $91,183. This number is more than twice South Carolina’s average wage of $46,230 and the Charleston region's average wage of $50,810, according to the latest (May 2020) data available from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
