The funding will also support the expansion of HyperionDev’s educational offerings and scholarship programs, including the HyperionDev Academy.
Emphasizing their commitment to South Africa, Moola stated, “We are actively seeking to partner with more universities nationwide and collaborate with the government to strengthen digital skills development and improve employability across the country.”
Founded in 2012, HyperionDev offers specialized, mentored coding bootcamps, both online and on-site at its campuses. These programs equip students with job-ready tech skills for careers in the technology sector.
