The Gaza Code Academy - أكاديمية البرمجة
APPLY FOR THE GAZA CODE ACADEMY!
The Gaza Code Academy, a joint project of Gaza Sky Geeks and Founders & Coders International, will launch its fifth cohort on July 1, 2018. We will train 16 students in a full-time, intensive course for 8 weeks with an additional 16 weeks of project-based learning with real-world clients to jumpstart your professional portfolio. The final goal for this Code Academy is to graduate as full-stack developers who can deploy production-grade software online and secure high-quality jobs with companies or work as freelance developers!
The fifth cohort requires a full-time commitment from July 1- December 6, 2018. After the course, we expect graduates to immediately seek employment opportunities as a software developer either as individual freelancers, employees in a company, or as freelancers in the GSG Digital Agency. As such, this course is NOT suitable for current university students, even if one would postpone a semester.
The deadline to apply is May 22, 2018. The application requires a significant amount of self-learning, so it is encouraged to begin your application early.
