One of the troubles with Bitcoin adoption as legal tender in El Salvador is having enough well-trained adult El Salvadoran developers to continue to help with adoption and improving functionality for transactions, mining and safe storage and beyond. 

There are many “How to Use Bitcoin” courses for people but not nearly enough job training programs.

Torogoz Dev aims to fix this with their free training program run by genius and generous Bitcoin volunteers. 

Torogoz Dev is an educational program based in El Salvador, it aims to train in the area of ​​Bitcoin and Lightning Network development , to give students the opportunity to opt for better job opportunities and have the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute value in the development of Bitcoin & Lightning on a national and international scale.
