Introducing NESA by Makers, the Yaba-based New Economy Skills Accelerator empowering people by teaching them to code.

As you may know, software engineering skills, particularly in web and app development, are now consistently in high demand. For skilled tech professionals, the world is their proverbial oyster.


NESA by Makers is a Lagos-based new economy skills accelerator with a mission to equip young people with the skills they need to maximize their capacity to create value for themselves for themselves, their loved ones, and society at large.

NESA works to close the industry skills gap by helping students, unemployed graduates, part-time and full-time professionals acquire relevant skills that qualify them for immediate gainful employment or position them to participate in high-growth entrepreneurial endeavors.

They achieve this by ensuring their students learn the most relevant skills face-to-face from practicing software development professionals while helping them build a portfolio of relevant work.

Students who successfully complete their program are guaranteed a job placement with one of NESA's hiring partners so they can put the skills they learn to good use and start earning money as soon as possible.

Currently, they offer two courses. Their Full Stack Web Development (FSWD) course is an intensive, three-month, full-time introduction to design and web applications. Students will be taught essential software development skills so as to leave the program with a firm grasp of HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and PHP/SQL as well as exposure to frameworks such as ReactJS, Laravel, and Bootstrap.

The second course - Web Development Fundamentals (WDF) - is a one-month course designed to help students gain a basic understanding of the languages and frameworks of web development. Participating students will be drilled in computational problem solving and the basics of HTML/CSS, and JavaScript. Graduates will possess a solid foundation on which they can learn more sophisticated programming disciplines in the future.


They are currently accepting applications for their next batch of cohorts with classes set to commence in October ‘17.
