Promote the consideration of Syrian talent by local businesses for remote and freelance positions. Showcase success tales from the boot camp to foster trust and involvement. Provide travel grants and lodging assistance for participants coming from more distant provinces to enhance their ability to gain knowledge and form collaborations within Syria. Obtain media attention to expand the outreach of this initiative.

Aimed at entry-level developers between 18 and 35 years old, those looking to change careers, and local technology recruitment professionals Nahda Tech employs a targeted media approach encompassing press interviews, contributions of op-eds in Arabic-language magazines, collaborations with influencers, and forthcoming online events.

In addition to the May bootcamp, a larger The Networking and Recruitment Event is set for September. Gathering alumni, companies, and community backers to enhance cooperation and employment opportunities.
