A decade after Yasmin Ali left her high-tech career, she built a new business that brought together her work experience, her extensive education, the resiliency she learned from parenting, and a passion for a specific community. She created Skillspire, a coding academy, to provide technical training for underrepresented populations. She’s passionate about getting all career pausers including stay-at-home parents, veterans, and refugees back to their full potential and showing them a clear path back to meaningful, financially secure careers.
