Throughout this program, participants can learn the basics of 4 popular programming languages , namely HTML & CSS, Javascript, SQL and Node.js. Through collaboration with the Center for Digital Society (CfDS) UGM, Progate hopes to be able to strengthen the influence and impact of the digital ecosystem in Yogyakarta as a City of Students, a gathering place for talented young people who will play an important role in the progress and future of the country through its contribution in the sector digital.

"We are proud to collaborate with CfDS UGM in conducting training that can be a means to foster the technological talents needed in the national digital economy ecosystem. Progate as an online learning platform that is easy to use, opens wider access to coding as a type of skill that can open the door for a better career for everyone," said Norman Ganto, Country Manager, Progate.

At present, the holding of the 'Coding Experience Bootcamp' program with CfDS UGM has reached more than 2,800 participants from various backgrounds ranging from students, college graduates, employees, to housewives.

"The lack of digital talent is one of the challenges that must be faced by Indonesia, especially in the era of the digital economy as it is today. This collaboration, hopefully, can be one of the efforts to bridge this challenge. CfDS UGM is proud to be part of Progate's efforts in developing and supporting the birth of new digital talents in advancing Indonesia's digital economy through the 'Coding Experience Bootcamp Program'," said Iradat Wirid as the Project Officer for CfDS UGM Event & Training.
