""In the GitHub Copilot training program, they're learning how to be experts in GitHub Copilot itself," said Carrol Chang, Andela CEO, in an interview with The Register. "The reason we chose GitHub Copilot after having looked at a bunch of different code editing and code creation tools in the market is that GitHub Copilot is the clear winner across enterprise customers.""
"Enterprise customers, said Chang, are largely choosing GitHub Copilot because of the security features and other business-oriented capabilities. Yet they're not getting as much out of it as they could due to low usage. "What we see with GitHub Copilot is that an enterprise might buy 100 seats - let's say, 100 licenses to Copilot," said Chang. "And maybe they're seeing low adoption. They might see 20 percent adoption.""
Andela has trained 200 software developers in GitHub Copilot through its Andela AI Academy and plans to train an additional 1,000 coders this year and 2,000 in 2026. The program is a partnership with Microsoft's GitHub and updates developer skill sets to improve marketability. Andela supplies technical teams to clients like GitHub, Mastercard, and Mindshare, claiming roughly $80,000 in savings per developer. Sixty percent of its developers are based in Latin America and Africa. GitHub Copilot was chosen for enterprise security and business-oriented capabilities, and the training aims to raise adoption and effective use among enterprises.
