Recently there was talk about the Coding Dojo Angola, a workshop for software developers in Luanda which was officially presented to the public on 19 on August 2017 in Launchpad Angola, a modern coworking space located in Vila Alice. On the day of the inauguration, more than forty people from the information technology community were present.
O a Bantu Makers partnership, aims to create a network to help unemployed people every Saturday from 9h00 to 12h00, hosting 12 participants for each session, who will register during the week, where they can also follow the interests of those who employ and are looking for jobs, joining proposals that could generate more business plans.
Second Lucius Curado (Mentor of the project), the number that interests is that of people who with the support of Coding Dojo can pay their bills or improve their payment, being that the focus is not, at the moment, to set a goal of people who should take notice of the Dojo, but gradually set a goal for people to get a job.
The dynamics of this project is, until Tuesday of each week, to find at least one company that can present its challenges, indicate profiles that it engages and people with a similar profile, who can present it, showing what they have already produced with a certain technology and share their experiences.
At the same time, the initiative aims to enable those who still do not feel prepared to apply for a place to be able to count on this space, with volunteer teachers for instructions on technologies such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, in order to better understand what the company asks and the next steps to be able to apply for the vacancy.
