Closing the Tech Skills Gap in Free State
Software engineering has been classified as a critical skill in South Africa, with a growing demand for highly trained professionals. At GS-Bootcamp in Kroonstad, Free State, we are proud to be the region's only dedicated coding bootcamp, helping to solve this shortage by training the next generation of developers.
As technology continues to drive innovation across industries, the shortage of qualified software engineers impacts not only the tech sector but also fields like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. Our mission is to provide intensive, hands-on training that equips students with the skills to succeed and contribute meaningfully to the country’s growing digital economy.
