In an effort to expose more Cameroonian youths and senior developers to Hi-Tech innovation, the Israeli private company in Tel Aviv, Developers Institute and the private Cameroonian innovation hub, VillaB came together on June 29, 2020 to launch the very first Israeli based Full stack Coding boot camp Developers Institute Yaounde, Cameroon. The Embassy of Israel through this partnership strengthened its already excellent cooperation ties with Cameroon by encouraging, supporting and focusing on the transfer of knowledge and technology for career enhancement.

　

The Ambassador of Israel, H.E Isi YANOUKA and the Deputy Ambassador, H.E Simon SEROUSSI were very proud to take part at the inauguration ceremony. They both expressed satisfaction after a short visit of the VillaB premises led by Arielle Kitio and William Elong.

''This is the continuation of the vision of the Embassy of Israel in Cameroon, which works for the promotion and development of science and technology to make them accessible to all Cameroonians aspiring to learn coding'' Isi YANOUKA told the press.

　

Coding or programming is the process of creating instructions for computers using programming languages. Coding is used to program the websites, apps, and other technologies we interact with every day. Villab is an innovation Hub based in the Yaounde neighborhood Bastos, founded by two young talented Cameroonians: Ariel Kitio and William Elong. Its main aim is to support young people and provide training about coding and artificial intelligence. Through this partnership, senior developers will be given Hi-Tech competency so that they can be more competitive on the developing market and outstanding students will have an opportunity to study with tech experts in Israel

　

According to the director of training at the VillaB, Arielle Kitio, the goal is to equip students with two main skills, Python programming and JavaScript. To undergo a training at the institution, aspiring students are expected to go through the selection process, which entails uploading a resume, passing a practical exam and an interview. The selected candidates will be offered a 12-week intensive course at the cost of 800,000 FRS while some maybe awarded scholarships to support the expenses.
