700+ coding bootcamp graduates already
SAP is partnering with ReBootKamp (RBK) and re:Coded to turn literacy into expertise, and expertise into employment. Bootcamps produced close to 600 market-ready engineers across all programs - full-stack engineer, blockchain bootcamp, AI bootcamp and seRAPis.
Introduction to Coding
Over the past few years, our implementation partner INJAZ has helped us introduce more than 37 000 youth aged 8 to 17 to the basics of computer science. Most children come from an underprivileged background and have joined the program through a local community center. DST also enables beneficiaries to:
- Opt for nanodegree certificates in data foundation and mobile development;
- Access online and offline teaching materials;
- Receive job-relevant education and seize job opportunities;
- Participate in train-the-trainer sessions;
- Access the Dubai Future Accelerators.
