Let's exchange ideas over coffee:

The good thing is that every hard time, every problem will pass; it’s not permanent.

Nisar Ahmed Hatami, Junior Web Developer at Evolusys/Bechtle, Alumnus Powercoders

Nisar made it. He managed the journey to a safe country. He is a junior consultant at a company he likes. It seems like the perfect story.

Without Powercoders’ network I don’t think I would have been able to take the step into the IT industry in Switzerland, no matter how much experience I had.

Mohammad Al Mestarihi, UI/UX Designer at Deep Impact, Alumnus Powercoders

For him IT is something like home. It has accompanied him through a good part of his life, even during difficult times.

Be crazy enough to trust yourself!

Abdul Nawaz Bugti, Solutions Engineer at Squirro, Alumnus Powercoders

For Abdul, one of the proudest moments of his life was when he could finally sign off from social service and tell himself that he didn’t need that support anymore.

My aunt told me that I should finally find a husband instead of going back to school for another education.

Mannar Hielal, Software Developer at Liip, Alumna Powercoders

Originally from Aleppo, Syria, Mannar fled her war-torn country for Turkey, and then eventually Switzerland, where she would join Powercoders.

My wish is to help make people’s lives easier and more effective. Through technology and innovation problems can be solved.

Raziq Adeel, Apprentice in Computer Science at IBM, Alumnus Powercoders

In March 2021, Raziq started his internship at IBM. Six months later they offered him a way-up apprenticeship.
