Programme Description
At WeThinkCode_, we believe that African youth have the potential to recode the continent’s future. Our mission is to source, develop and place world-class African digital talent globally through a network of tuition-free software-engineering schools across the continent. WeThinkCode_ democratises education by making it open and accessible to all talented young people. We source high potential software engineers regardless of previous education, financial means or socio-economic background. Through an innovative online application process, we source top talent from all backgrounds. At WeThinkCode_ there are no teachers, no classes, and students learn through a peer-to- peer problem solving environment. In partnership with world-class institution Ecole 42 (based in Paris and Silicon Valley), WeThinkCode_ trains young minds to become software engineers that think differently and are equip with skills to thrive in the digital era. Tuition-free, our two-year course is sponsored by companies looking to thrive in the digital economy and secure their tech talent pipelines. Corporate partners provide financial support, skills development and a path to employment for students. In return, students pledge to complete two 4-month internships with Corporate Sponsors and work for the sponsor at the end of their studies. Find out more on our website: www.wethinkcode.co.za
