Hi Friends,
Here are the latest updates from our Academy. Since our last report, we have had two more IT Fundamentals classes and one more Programming Boot Camp. In addtion, two of our Trainees became Apprentices after finishing their basic web developement courses. They are now working with our experienced staff who are helping them develop professional programming skills. They are aslo working on real projects along side our team to help other non-profits to be more effective and efficient by using web apps.
Finally, Mr Guy, our first Apprentice has finished his program and is now a full-fledged staff as a part of our team. He has come a long way in 18 months from not knowing anything about web developement to now being a professional web developer.
Our hope is to continue giving those who do not have an IT background a chance to change their lives by learning basic IT skills and if they have potential, recruit them for our Web Development and Apprenticeship program. We started training adults who were unemployed due to Covid but now many have found employment and are not free to do full-time training. So we are partnering with another organization to start focusing on those with disiabilites and lower education and therefore fewer chances to be employeed. This month we hope to find out if we received a grant we applied for months ago to start training people with disablities.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership.
