CODING BOOT CAMP GRADUATE SECURES JOB AT HARRIS INTERNATIONAL LTD

Rebecca (26), a Cohort 1 graduate of our virtual Coding Boot Camp for Women who is based in Uganda, secured a full-time position with Harris International.

“2020 was a rough year for me, and I believe some of us might have felt that too. It was the year I decided to set goals for personal development amidst the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.

1. I joined a mentorship class Project Girls 4 Girls Uganda to build my confidence in August 2020 and graduated this year 2021.
2. I enrolled for my MBA even when I wasn’t sure of my tuition source in September 2020.
3. I decided to transition my career into SAP and was selected for the SAP YPP East Africa in November 2020. And graduated this year in 2021 February.
4. Then to enrich the new skills I gained from the SAP YPP, I applied for a scholarship at the Visiola Foundation to attend their virtual Coding Boot Camp which put me at advantage to understand what I never imagined I would be doing now.
