Intensive web dev training for Syrian refugees. We are augmenting Hack Reactor's curriculum with Ruby and a robust suite of soft skills including leadership, creative problem solving, team building, collaboration and ethics. Program is 32 weeks (1,400 hours) and will produce some the best entry level developers in the region of not the world. Arab market is poised to explode yet there are currently NO tech bootcamps in the Arab world!
Syrian youth are super motivated. Pool = 1.5 million.
Agreements are in place with Hack Reactor, UN and Jordanian partners. Amman tech companies have indicated they will take every JS and Rails grad we produce.
Phase 2 adds a consultancy. We cherry pick the top grads and put them to work providing web dev for SV clients offshoring work. Jordan is 3 hours closer to SV than Bangalore. Labor rates are less than India.
Consulting studio includes HIT innovation lab.
Revenues from deferred tuition (App Academy model), placement fees and consultancy.
