We at Agama help you create an opportunity for yourself. Our technology bootcamps have been carefully designed for the under-privileged, under-represented but talented people of our community. All you need to bring in is your drive for excellence and desire to rise high. We screen through each profile and interview you personally before accepting you in our program.
Why Bootcamps?
Rapidly changing technology landscape requires everyone to keep learning new technologies to gain an advantage over other job seekers.
More immigration restrictions making it harder for employers to retain immigrants and hire workers from other countries
Gender and diversity disparity isn’t bridging fast enough though most employers know about the benefits of diversity and have put diversity and inclusion on top of their agenda. Source: Little progress on tech diversity
There is a consistent shortage of talent. About 1 million vacant jobs in 2019 and projected to grow to 4.3 million vacant jobs in 2030. In US alone, this could result in about $162 billion of unrealized revenue. Source: Talent Shortage
What’s at the core of the above facts? An opportunity for radically changing how companies hire and retain tech talent. Agama realized this opportunity and has been hard at work to solve it for over a decade. We believe that one way to improve on all the facts above is to provide learning opportunities to anyone who has the potential to make their career in IT.
Over several years, we have distilled these learning opportunities to specific and concise technology bootcamps that help professionals garner better opportunities or gain entry into the IT industry. When successful, these people turn into beacons of learning and hope for countless others in their community.
