About the Project:

 WeCode is an intensive training Bootcamp project implemented by Rwanga Foundation to remotely train youth in KRI with software development skills and provide adequate technical and soft skills to WeCode participants so that they qualify to land their first job as junior software developers. This project consists of different stages. First, a market assessment has been conducted to identify the skillsets needed in the technology companies operating in KRI. Then, through the training Bootcamp of WeCode, the selected youth would be trained on the technical and soft skills requested by the companies. At the final stage, WeCode’s graduates (after receiving complete training) would be introduced to the leading IT and technology companies to be able to work in this sector and take this career path.

Goal of the Project

WeCode aims to help the youth develop their technical coding proficiency parallel with their soft skills to enable them transition into a career in software development in Kurdistan Region – Iraq.

To obtain this objective, WeCode focuses on developing two sets of skills parallel to each other:

First: Technical Skills (Front End Development and Mobile Application).

Second: Soft Skills (Communications, Teamwork, job hunting, Interview skills, … ).
