Kornvuthi Lapprathana

Kornvuthi Lapprathana’s social enterprise TechUp runs online coding courses and boot camps that give students increased access to financially rewarding tech careers. The results have been impressive: 60 to 80 percent of learners get jobs within 90 days of graduation, including in companies such as IBM and PwC, and there is a 33 percent increase in their median salaries post-bootcamp; while Kornvuthi himself was selected for the Obama Foundation Asia-Pacific Leaders Programme.
