WHY WE CREATED THIS PROGRAM
A gap exists between the abilities of talent and the needs of companies
The demand for skilled AI developers has surged.
AI companies prioritize proven experience.
There are limited opportunities to gain experience from.
Developers struggle to secure remote AI jobs.
Developers must undergo specialized training tailored to the specific demands of the AI industry
While traditional training programs provide a foundational understanding of AI concepts, they lack the required depth and practical experience.
We've helped +100 developers grow through our learning programs
The Llama Camp helped me a lot. It helped me get out of my comfort zone. After finishing the training, I received three job offers for senior front-end positions.
I participated in an amazing dev camp to level my soft and technical skills to work for US companies. I highly recommend Awana to anyone looking to play big and challenge themselves abroad.
The camp allowed me to level up with the highest technologies. Maybe at some points we felt lost and overwhelmed given it was an intensive program. At the end, it's important we learn to adapt to it.
