GIRLCODE and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have partnered to help 30 unemployed women prepare for careers in tech and IT through a free training programme, GirlCode’s Software Development Learnership, GirlCode said in a statement yesterday.
The learnership programme, which started last month, will run for 12 months at the GirlCode Campus in Midrand. The focus of the programme is an introduction to cloud-based computing and AWS tools.
“They will work on practical projects, as well as learn and practice with relevant tech and tools. This will afford the learners hands-on opportunities to experience real-life operations and agility of projects, working in teams in a business environment, while also acquiring soft skills to prepare them for the world of work,” the statement said.
