KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -
Media OutReach Newswire - 1 October 2024 - This year, a global broker
Octa
provides full financial support for a coding bootcamp for students of
Ideas International, a Kuala Lumpur-based inclusive secondary school
that aims to give a well-rounded education to young people from diverse
backgrounds. The Octa bootcamp aims to empower Malaysian youths in their
professional pursuits and propel them towards future coding careers
through quality on-site training.
The bootcamp consists of three stages, the first starting in June and
the last ending in November. In terms of workload, the second stage held
in the summer was by far the most packed of the three, with a
curriculum including JavaScript, front-end development, and version
control. The 240 hours of training across the second stage have resulted
in the final assignments, carried out by each student individually and
due in early September.
Meanwhile, in late August, students and teachers gathered to celebrate
Octa's 13th birthday and the successful completion of Stage 2. The
broker happily contributed to the festivities, providing a birthday cake
and a giveaway of branded merchandise for all participants.
After finishing their Stage 2 final assignments, students will receive
certificates based on their performance and can proceed to Stage 3,
which will be carried out between 17 September and 24 November. The
third stage will span over 60 hours across ten weeks, focusing on React
and incorporating its popular use cases. To conclude the bootcamp,
students will complete and present their final projects reflecting the
knowledge and experience acquired throughout the training.
As the bootcamp's sponsor, Octa is very proud of the students who
mastered an intense curriculum and overcame all obstacles to complete
the second stage. By funding educational projects such as STATUS 200,
Octa aims to offer dedicated and hardworking youths new opportunities
for personal development.
As one of the students said,
‘This bootcamp changed a lot for me in terms of career plans. It made
me really keen on continuing my education and maybe getting a computer
science degree!'
