Codi is a combination between a coding bootcamp and a leadership programme based in Beirut whose aim is to get underprivileged youth to participate in the growing needs of the local ICT sector. It is school of web / mobile programming (free for students) and a broader school of life in many ways, for young individuals who have a passion for digital and want to build a career in technology but lack the financial means to pursue a traditional university education. It is the first training centre to foster digital and technical skills for all youth in Lebanon. 

Our core training is a 6-month Full-Stack Web Development programme, we train around 30 students every 6-months and have close to 80 alumni as of July 2020. We have also recently launched a 2-month Computer Literacy programme, everything we do at Codi is based around maximising the employability of our students and encouraging more people to join the tech/digital sector.

We are looking for a new Senior Technical trainer to mentor, inspire and train future web developers (in the Core programme) while accompanying them day-to-day through their learning journey at Codi (you will report to the Lead Trainer). We are looking for someone who lives for programming and all things technical, previous experience teaching web development is essential and a love of sharing knowledge and educating the next generation of developers is key.
