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.
