One Million Uzbek Coders


Get ready for tomorrow

Description

The One Million Uzbek Programmers project was launched in November 2019 jointly with the United Arab Emirates in order to involve the youth of Uzbekistan in the field of information technology. Our project provides the necessary knowledge to start your journey in the IT world. We teach in four areas: Data Analytics, Android Development, Full Stack Development and Front End Development. After completing the course, a graduate of our project can apply for a Nanodegree grant, where he will study in depth in the above areas. Training takes place online, in the form of video lessons and practical exercises after them. The course is designed for 3 months and is suitable even for people with different types of disabilities. At the moment, the number of registrants is more than 2 million, and the number of graduates is more than 1 million people. Our project is not going to stop there, we develop and improve ourselves every year, and our ultimate goal is to interest as many of the population of Uzbekistan as possible in the field of ICT. But the real achievements of the project can be considered that we help many people to become full-fledged specialists in this field without higher education or if you have a disability.
