Announcing the fully-remote BlockVigil Developer Bootcamp
Find the application form for this program over here. (now open for 2nd cohort)
We at BlockVigil were about to launch a mentoring program on-premise in Bangalore to assist in upskilling of students, fresh graduates and entry-level developers and transform into valuable assets for organizations in need of engineers who can execute cleanly.
…and CoViD-19 hit the world
In light of the recent developments that have affected the economy and markets as a whole, we understand this is a time of uncertainties for such individuals.
This time presents us with a unique opportunity to execute the same plan remotely and reach out to a wider audience who will truly benefit from the program and they don’t even need to be present in the city of Bangalore.
We have decided to waive off all costs associated with educational material and training efforts for those who need this the most after a review of their applications.
Read on for further information and instructions to apply to this program.
