“University taught me theory. SILTAWI taught me how to work professionally. I learned version control, collaborative development, deep research habits, and how to contribute inside a real team environment.”
Yeabsira Behailu
Software Engineering Student & Pilot Intern
“Before, I only worked on simple academic projects. After joining the programme, I experienced building software in a real working environment with collaboration, deadlines, and practical responsibility.”
Fitsum Helina

“Before SILTAWI, I only coded alone on personal projects. Here, I learned how real software teams work — GitHub collaboration, scalable systems, project workflows, and production thinking. SILTAWI changed how I see myself as an engineer.”
Ruhama Bekele
Software Engineering Student & Pilot Intern
