WeThinkCode will offer 300 fully sponsored scholarships for its NQF-5 programming course in 2021.
Applications are now open for the two-year full-time program, which takes place at the WeThinkCode campuses in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
“Every year WeThinkCode receives more than 50,000 applications from young South Africans seeking a start in the growing technology sector, which cries out for digital skills, particularly in the area of programming and software development,” the company said.
The course is certified by ICT Seta and trains its graduates to be full-fledged developers equipped with the ability to create software solutions within any company.
“We are looking for students with talented potential and a desire to succeed,” said Nyari Samushonga, CEO of WeThinkCode.
“Our course has been structured to meet the needs of the South African business environment while bringing out the best in our selected candidates.”
