The program
CodePRO
CodePRO is Penguin Academy's flagship program: an intensive, in-person 8-month track designed for people 18 and over in Paraguay who want to start a career in technology. No prior experience required.
The program is structured in four progressive phases, each building on the last: from a first line of code to a specialized, job-ready skill set.

Phase 2
The Dive
Merit-based selection and complex problem-solving.

Phase 3
The Huddle
Advanced technical training in software architecture and development.
4
Phase 4
The Hatch
Specialization in one of two tracks:
- Web & mobile development
- Data science
Across every phase
A soft-skills module runs throughout the program, covering self-management, communication, teamwork, and professional leadership, so graduates are ready for real teams, not just real code.
Access & financing
Two ways in, including no upfront cost
CodePRO offers two payment options: an upfront payment, or an Income Share Agreement (ISA) that lets participants start with no initial cost and contribute only once they are working in tech.
Detailed information is shared personally with each interested candidate.
Post-program support
Up to 24 months of Career Services
Every participant receives up to 24 months of personalized professional support from the Career Services team:
- Interview coaching
- Job-search guidance
- Direct referrals to companies in the network
