One of them is Holberton School, present on 30 campuses in 20 countries, it offers modalities so that students can study in a short time without worrying about the economic. In addition to the regular monthly payment, the student who does not have sufficient resources could pay the fees once he gets a job. When you start earning more $500, just start paying. Another option is that they can pay half the fee in twice the time.

They have a main program to become Full Stack Developer. This profile is a programming specialist who can work on a web page, application or software. Recently, they reduced the study time from 9 to 6 months. “We realized that our students were already starting to reach job after finishing the second trimester, because they already had enough knowledge to position themselves in the job market,” explains Valery Vargasco-founder of the school Peru.

The third trimester, which was focused on teaching infrastructure and servers, is now offered as a 3-month specialization and is optional. They also have other specializations that range from 3 to 9 months, which are Advanced Web Development, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, Blockchain, and Front End and Back End.

Study programming not only ensures rapid integration into the labor market. In fact, opportunities are opening up all over the world, because it is a universal language.

Miguel reveals the key to his success: “I would tell youth that they study hard and make a habit of it, because by programming the study It’s timeless and that’s what makes it great.”

Once the students graduate, the program is activated to help them find a job and this consists of first disseminating the profile of the students to the companies that are part of the network Hiring Partners.

For those interested in technology, Holberton called for a new program which will be 100% free. ” We throw 30 scholarships for a program called First steps in programming. It’s for people who think they love programming and want to go that route, but aren’t so sure,” says Vargas.
