Mudan Codes conducted a powerful and practical workshop at City University, focused on helping Somali girls navigate the growing job market in tech. The event titled “Career Opportunities in Coding” brought together members of the Mudan Codes Community to explore the pathways, skills, and strategies necessary to secure employment in Somalia’s emerging tech ecosystem.
This workshop wasn’t just about inspiration — it was about information and action.
🧭 Workshop Focus Areas:
- Overview of coding-related career paths in Somalia
- Identifying key tech employers and industry demands
- How to build a strong, project-based portfolio
- Best practices for applying to jobs and internships
- Soft skills needed for interviews and remote work
- Real-life experiences shared by mentors and tech professionals
💬 Participant Impact:
The workshop was structured as an interactive session, encouraging dialogue, questions, and sharing. Attendees were given space to voice their aspirations, concerns, and goals, receiving direct feedback and personalized guidance.
This event especially resonated with learners ready to transition from training to the job market. It helped bridge the often-intimidating gap between coding skills and employment — a core part of Mudan Codes’ mission.
🌟 Why It Matters:
Technical knowledge alone is not enough. Somali girls need access to information about how to use those skills in real-world contexts. By demystifying the hiring process and introducing practical tools, we’re empowering our community to take control of their futures.
As one participant said, “Now I don’t just know how to code — I know how to get hired.”
