Project Report | Jan 12, 2021
Together we are stronger

By Yesica Gomez | Coordinator Project

During 2020 we faced great challenges, but we also found opportunities to improve our work and inspire young people to consider technology as an alternative for life. In 2020 we trained 53 geeks in coding skills, employability and 21st century skills. 94% of those trained have a job in the TECH industry and they are generating income that contributes to the improvement of their quality of life.


Part of our 2020 goals is inclusion, 36 women are now frontdeveloper, and 31 of them are working or studying in areas related with TECH. Also we had a version called Academia Geek Ser + Capaces, focused on people with disabilities who finish their training in December 2020. 27 persons concluded the formation. During January they will socialize their final projects and  they will be starting the employability process.

Thanks to all for the support during 2020.

 

This year we have big dreams. Together we are stronger.
