Most sectors in the world have experienced a digital revolution in the last 20 years and this revolution is accelerating at a faster pace year by year. Education is no exception and bootcamps have emerged as an ideal solution to fill the gap of education that can adapt quickly to teaching new technologies and with a duration much shorter than classical college degrees. Bootcamps are to be seen as either complementary to an academic degree, a way to switch careers or the only accessible form of study for people that cannot afford to spend years in college.
At Astrafy we are passionate about education and our vision is to democratize as much as possible data analytics practices. One of our founders (Charles) has started his career in data engineering after attending two bootcamps.
I could have never landed in a job in data engineering without attending those two bootcamps I did back in 2017. It literally jump started my career in that field. I couldn’t afford to take more than 5 months off and doing a bootcamp was the ideal format.
Our bootcamp goes hand in hand with our commitment to expand in Africa where education remains inaccessible for many people and where Cloud technologies adoption are still at a low level.
