How it works
RECRUITMENT
We search for brilliant minds who would otherwise be limited to low-payed, unfulfilling careers.
EDUCATE
Students receive two years of Programming and English instruction at our live-in training centre.
ENTERPRISE
Graduates earn and continue learning at our outsourcing enterprise. All profits are reinvested in the next wave of students.
MEET A STUDENT
