Recent business development underlines the increasing skills gap between job openings and availability in the ICT sector. The demand far outweighs the current supply, which means that candidates equipped with the right set of mindset and culture are precious.

Their mission is to grow today’s talented youth into tomorrow’s best developers by providing accessible coding school to all who demonstrate logic and motivation.
