Provision of training about coding for 100 youth aged 18-25 years old.

Provision of training about coding for too youth aged 18-25 years old.

i. Technical Description

The DoIT project is about enabling youth with vulnerable economics with digital, linguistic, and life skills and be ready for future jobs, whether freelance, full time or part time employment.

The project provides youth with market driven courses that include: Digital & Media Literacy, Mobile Application Development, Microwork, Social Media Marketing. Robotics. Courses certified by leading industries such as google. Facebook, and Microsoft. In addition to CISCO accredited courses (CISCO Cyber security, CISCO NDG Linux, and CISCO ITE).

The enrolled beneficiaries who accessed DOT Lebanon courses, only 100 candidates will be selected to access the advanced coding courses program, and the selection is based on the acquired skills, education level, and commitment.

Based on the above, the task is according to the following:

• Number of total trainees: 100
• Number of groups: 4
• Number of students per group: 25
• Age group: 18 and above
• Geographical area: North, South, Beirut, Mount Lebanon, and Bekaa

The full service delivery term is on August 2021 (specific start and end dates to be determined).

2. Component I - Programming in Python

The first component of the advanced coding course will be linked to Programming in Python that is an extremely programmer-friendly, and takes away almost all the complications of historically dominant languages like 3ava, and C++, without sacrificing power or expressibility and has been used in web development, machine learning, and data science.

The course duration should be at least 100 hours. The course should be introductory to programming and python; it should address trainees with no coding background.

The consultant should be presenting the methodology of measuring learning outcomes per trainee. In addition, the consultant should provide the methodology of providing the courses virtually should COVID-19 measures were still applicable.

3. Component 2 - Introduction to Computer Sciences

Following the completion of the course programming in Python, the students are introduced to the fundamental of computer sciences topics that are considered core competencies in every field that involves software development and data manipulation and builds on the familiarity with a programming language (Python) in order to deliver the concepts that are language agnostics.

From this course, the beneficiaries will be enrolled in a three-month boot camp where they will have an opportunity to seek employment after graduation.
