Careers Portal spoke to GirlCode about all things coding and female empowerment. They also gave us some insight into how to apply to their Coding Bootcamp.
GirlCode is a nonprofit organization that provides training opportunities for girls interested in learning software development.
GirlCode's online coding bootcamps are an intensive 3 month training that prepares people with little or no prior experience to work as web developers.
They have partnered with large corporates to train 300 unemployed graduates. They aim to bridge the gap between what you've learned and what companies are looking for.
Tinyiko from GirlCode said, "We've come to upskill them with the various skills that they lack in order to get them into the corporates and also get them certified".
