Summary

Pybites, co-founded by Bob and Julian, has partnered with South Africa's Believe Resourcing Group (BRG) to address the employment and skills gap across Africa by leveraging their Python coding platform. While Pybites initially began as a tool to teach Python, its broader educational offerings include advanced coding concepts, problem-solving skills, and general computer literacy, aiming to empower various demographics, from children to non-tech workers. The partnership with BRG, a talent acquisition company, was serendipitous and is seen as a way to create impactful change by providing education and resources to those in need. The collaboration plans to engage with local communities, educational institutions, and governing bodies in Africa to tailor their platform to local needs, with initiatives like webinars already underway. The founders are optimistic about making a significant difference with BRG's support and are actively inviting more people to join their community and stay informed through their newsletter.
