The programme combines Founders and Coders' project-based machine learning curriculum with Yalla Labs' employment model, giving displaced Palestinian technologists the opportunity to develop AI engineering skills while contributing to real products that support charities and mission-driven organisations.
Participants won't just learn machine learning in a classroom. They'll apply their learning by working on open-source products and digital tools that address real challenges faced by the social sector, supported by mentors and a collaborative, trauma-aware environment.
This partnership brings together the strengths of both organisations. Founders and Coders contributes its established curriculum and educational approach, while Yalla Labs provides meaningful project work, mentoring, and the opportunity to build technology with real-world impact. Together, we're creating a learning experience that connects technical education with purposeful work.
The programme marks an important milestone for Yalla Labs as we continue building pathways for displaced technologists to develop their careers while contributing to technology that strengthens communities.
We'll be sharing more details about the first cohort, participant applications, and opportunities for organisations to support future programmes over the coming months.
