The training academy makes significant strides in fostering youth development through its software development programme.

WeThinkCodeAccording to Kelebogile Motlhamme , operations director at WeThinkCode, since its inception in 2016, the training academy has seen 1 108 young people graduate. “Out of these graduates, 86% have been placed in employment,” she tells ITWeb via e-mail.

The academy notes that recent proprietary data highlights the academy’s achievements in graduate placement and its commitment to inclusivity, addressing the country’s critical need for youth empowerment and skills development. “The academy’s graduate employment placement success underscores the urgent need for structured youth employability programmes in South Africa,” says the academy.

Motlhamme explains that WeThinkCode utilises a comprehensive selection process that foregoes traditional tertiary requirements. Candidates who pass the online assessment are invited to attend a six-day selection bootcamp at one of WeThinkCode’s campuses.
