MARS Certification: Career Restart for Women in Non-Tech Fields

With MARS Certification, MARSbySHEROES is helping women restart their careers in non-tech fields like Customer Service, Sales, and HR. Learn about remote work opportunities designed for women returning after a career break.

Taking a career break is a reality for many women, whether for family, personal reasons, or life's unpredictable moments. In India, nearly 80% of working women take career breaks. While this statistic isn’t exclusive to any one industry, much of the focus on career return programs lies in the technology and IT sectors. The tech world boasts an abundance of structured "returnships," and career reboot programs, and pathways specifically tailored to help professionals re-enter tech roles.

However, what about those women who built their careers in non-tech fields like Customer Service, Sales, Human Resources, Marketing, or Operations? The gap is glaring. While tech return programs are celebrated, women in non-technical fields have far fewer opportunities to seamlessly return to the workforce.

On the other hand, programs like the MARS Certification or MARS Certified Remote Professional (MCRP) program by SHEROES aim to support women restarting their careers outside of tech. By taking an innovative approach to remote and hybrid work, MARS helps women regain confidence, skills, and financial independence in non-tech fields.

The Challenge for Non-Tech Career Restarters

Many industries beyond tech are equally affected by career interruptions. Women who once held positions in marketing, customer service, or administrative roles often face a steep uphill climb when attempting to re-enter the workforce. The challenge is not just finding the right opportunities but overcoming biases, filling skill gaps, and adapting to the modern work environment.

In the tech world, large corporations like Infosys, Accenture, and TCS have acknowledged these challenges, offering career reboot programs specifically for women returning to work in the tech domain. These initiatives are often well-publicised and well-funded. But for women in non-tech roles, similar opportunities are hard to come by.

The result? Many skilled, experienced women remain on the sidelines, feeling disconnected from the professional world and unsure of how to return.

Filling the Void: MARSbySHEROES

MARS has created a pathway for women to rejoin the workforce, specifically catering to non-tech roles. Recognizing that there’s more to a career restart than simply refreshing skills, MARS offers a holistic solution - focused on immediate employability rather than endless upskilling.

The MARS Certification Program is not just another training course but a gateway to real job opportunities. Through a simple assessment and telephonic screening process, women are evaluated based on their aptitude, logical reasoning, computer skills, and communication abilities. This process is designed to measure readiness for real-world roles, enabling women to hit the ground running. Once assessed, successful candidates are added to MARS's talent pool and connected with companies seeking remote professionals for various business processes that MARS helps them manage.
