As part of its transformative plans to make Guyana a centre for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) the Government of Guyana is encouraging Guyanese to register for the 150k Guyana Coders Initiative (GCI).
A press release yesterday from the Department of Information [DPI] said that this initiative aims to teach Guyanese the necessary skills to work as IT technicians, systems administrators, cyber security analysts, and other related positions which include animation, website creation, and software engineering. A certificate will be issued upon completion of the programme and will be recognised by the UAE. The chance to compete in regional and national coding competitions will be available to students. Top performers will also receive cash awards. Students can register to study the course of their choosing at no cost and take online classes to earn a professional software development certification.
