GK Africa Announces Its Partnership With We Think Code

GK Africa Announces Its Partnership With We Think Code. GK Africa announced partnership with WeThinkCode_to realise their vision of a homegrown development team to support their solutions.
Global companies are supporting intricate tech in diverse parts of the world and stand to benefit from sourcing region-specific developers in places like South Africa. Tapping into the brightest technical resources starts with creating local opportunities and fostering an environment conducive to growth. In augmenting their existing South African development team, GK Africa recognises the need for not only senior developers but also junior developers who can be trained to global standards, and whose skills can be advanced towards becoming senior developers. GK Africa has thus partnered with WeThinkCode_ to achieve their vision of a homegrown development team to support their solutions.
WeThinkCode_ is a software development training academy established in 2015 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Their mission is to recruit sharp young minds from underserved communities and train them to become work-ready software developers. The academy is tuition-free for students, enabling them to deliver quality tertiary education and direct pathways to meaningful work opportunities for youth from low-income households. In the context of South Africa’s current 63.5% youth unemployment rate and the local tech skills shortage, WeThinkCode_ acts as a bridge between talented young people and the economy.
