Dear Donors,
I am thrilled to inform you that 29 bright and motivated individuals won the IntegrarTEC 2024 scholarship. From an initial pool of 645 applications, 40 embarked on the final step of the rigorous and comprehensive selection process: a two-week preparatory course. Twenty-nine were selected, and on April 4th they began their Full Stack Programming training.
We welcomed this year´s cohort with an inspiring in-person meeting at our Integrar office to foster connections among them, cultivate a sense of community, and facilitate their onboarding process. Students were excited to meet two graduates and two mentors who shared their professional experiences in the tech industry.
This year´s program includes best practices, and in-depth knowledge of JavaScript, Node.js, SQL, and Git. Advanced workshops on topics such as File Handling in Node, and Using AI in IT Projects were also added. The mid-course satisfaction survey yielded outstanding results: 92% of students found the content highly significant, and 80% said the course exceeded their expectations.
Integrar´s participation in Talent SummIT
On July 4th, Fundación Integrar participated in the Talent SummIT. This event was organized by the Software Industry Association of Argentina (CESSI) and the Buenos Aires IT Cluster, to discuss the situation of Argentina´s software industry, particularly the skill gap between educational programs and job market demands. IT companies, specialized HHRR consultants, and a few NGOs were present.
IntegrarTEC made a vital contribution to the panel “First Job: Preparing for the Workforce” by highlighting the unique challenges faced by our graduates for whom this opportunity is a crucial step towards securing decent jobs in a booming industry. In a country crippled by decades of crisis, this represents a transformative chance for them to break the cycle of poverty. The event was an excellent platform to showcase how our program is changing lives and contributing to shaping a diverse workforce.
Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. Your support is making a profound impact on the lives of these young talents. Together, we are empowering the next generation of tech professionals.
We look forward to your continued support and involvement.
Warm regards,
Anabella Maudet
