In recent years, the tech industry has undergone a profound transformation. New methodologies, new tools, and, above all, new ways of working have changed how companies build solutions, collaborate, and adapt to change. However, there is still a phrase we hear far too often:
“If I don’t come from a tech background, I can’t enter tech.”
And this is simply not true.
More and more women are redirecting their professional careers toward technology, particularly into DevOps, even without having studied engineering or programming beforehand. Many of them come from fields such as:
Education
Psychology
Administration
Marketing
Healthcare
Retail and logistics
This highlights something essential: your starting point does not determine your capacity or your potential for growth.
What really makes the difference
The key is not to “know everything” before you begin. The key is:
Having guidance and support
Advancing through progressive, structured training
Learning step-by-step in a safe, employment-oriented environment
The speed at which you learn does not matter. What matters is having a clear path, a supportive community, and the ability to practice and apply your learning in real situations.
That is why programs designed specifically to learn from scratch exist , such as AWS re/Start, a free initiative that helps participants develop foundational cloud computing knowledge, strengthen workplace skills, and access real professional opportunities. It is not just about studying or memorizing concepts. It is about discovering a career that enables long-term growth and stability.
More than changing sectors, it is about opening a new door.
DevOps as a new professional stage
DevOps is a field that brings together technology, collaboration, critical thinking, and continuous improvement. It is not just about code, it is also about communication, coordination, problem-solving, and building solutions together.
This is why many skills developed in non-technical professions are completely transferable to DevOps: planning, time management, empathy, analytical thinking, attention to detail, teamwork. Every skill counts. Everything adds value.
In our DevOps Academy project, we firmly believe that anyone can build a new professional path if they are given the right tools and support. And for this reason, we are working on the development of an accessible, progressive, and guided training pathway, designed to help more women enter the sector with confidence, security, and real preparation.
If you are thinking about changing direction, this may be your moment
Reorienting your career can feel intimidating. It means stepping away from what is familiar. But it also opens new opportunities, encourages personal growth, and helps you build a professional future that aligns with who you are and who you want to become.
Changing does not mean starting from zero. Changing means continuing with new possibilities.
