Testimonials_
WeThinkCode_ has provided us with invaluable access to a diverse pool of exceptional individuals. It has eliminated the challenges we faced in sourcing and selecting talent. By doubling their cohort from 2020 to 2021, they significantly contributed to our achievement of hiring goals. The outstanding results we witnessed in 2022 are a testament to their capabilities.
I really do think the power of the programme is the fact that support for youth from low-income backgrounds is built in throughout the programme.
From selection through to training, student support and placement. The fact that WeThinkCode_ integrates support across the value chain, I think that’s what makes all the difference.
We were very impressed with the level of skill and experience of the students; they have proven themselves very competent and able to join a global company and transition into a very complex environment.
