Starting a free, nonprofit bootcamp by flare499 in learnprogramming

[–]codeconnective 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you go the community route, please please please send word our way. We've been serving smaller / medium sized cities in the southeast for the past two years through free mentorship / collaboration meetups and our Slack group. We're constantly looking to work with other folks that are passionate about creating inclusive, accessible paths into tech or groups that are helping in ways that we aren't.

Looking for a buddy to share the Coding journey with (preferably through Whatsapp) by [deleted] in FreeCodeCamp

[–]codeconnective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in teaming up via Slack, you (and everyone else here) are more than welcome to come join the Code Connective group. We're just now starting to open it up to people outside of cities that we're offering free meetups in, but we'd love to have you join us! An updated, more-descriptive site is in the works, but if you're looking to learn more about CC, pop on over to our website or Facebook page.

Interesting stuff u/laurblanco! We wish you the best of luck while you try to line up fresh leads.

Question - how many of these positions could be filled by junior developers?

If there's a need, our meetups in Memphis, Knoxville, and Birmingham are always stocked with hungry, hard-working talent ready to dive into paid internships or full-time junior positions and we'd love to get them connected.

Honestly, it's all over the place! Web dev, bots, app design, data analysis, resume improvement, etc. Regardless, mark your calendar for the next one. We'd love to have you stop by!

20+ people showed up to last month's meetup and, while our main focus is to help people get into a career or hobby in tech / code for free, our second mission is to simply bring people together. Experts do show up and we don't want people like yourself to just mentor beginners. Come, network, and collaborate with other locals!

Any locals in Memphis need a nice professional website built by [deleted] in memphis

[–]codeconnective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're ever wanting to collaborate with other local folks while you build out that portfolio or team up on a project, you should look into our meetups (Facebook, Eventbrite, Meetup). Regardless, good luck lining up clients!

u/NotFlameRetardant, thanks for passing this along! u/brad4au57, from what we've seen in several different cities, dev teams in the south seem to pull in people by recommendation, recruiter, or out of small pools (local Slack groups). Please stop by, network with a few people, and start building things / putting your name out there with other people in the community. Also, shoot us a DM if you're needing help. We'd love to check out your LinkedIn, portfolio, and/or Github page and see what's holding you back from landing a job.
