DataCamp Donates Digest Q3 2022

In this next video, we thank our almost 14,000 learners in Africa who received scholarships through our partners at Ingressive For Good. You all embody the values of optimism, community, and hard work that make DataCamp Donates so special. Thank you!

We love it when DataCamp Donates partners and learners share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #DCDonates. We especially enjoyed this one from a young man from Malaysia who nailed his job interview and has DataCamp and Selangor Human Resource Centre to thank for it.

A massive shout-out to the six DataCamp Donates learners who were among the winners of DataCamp’s first-ever XP competition in August. They won a combined total of $4,000 USD, including the grand champion of the competition, Sani Usman. Those cash prizes will really go a long way in the lower-income countries in which they live. We were even more excited to see I4G learner Augustina Okonkwo follow up on her win by getting her Associate Data Scientist Certification on DataCamp. 

Did you know that over 20% of DataCamp users who achieve a Certification are free DataCamp Donates and Classrooms learners? We’re committed to providing only the best services to our DataCamp Donates learners to help them get ahead but hold them to the same rigorous standards all of our Certified users' experience.
