AltSchool Africa has partnered with ayoba to train African talent in Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa to become software engineers at no cost.
Ayoba has over 35 million active users and offers a communication suite that includes music, channels, games and services.
This partnership is particularly beneficial to young Africans who are passionate about building a sustainable career in software engineering but have been unable to learn the requisite skills due to financial limitations. Applicants who meet the eligibility criteria for this free training program will have the option of choosing to learn either FrontEnd Engineering, BackEnd Engineering, or Cloud Engineering.
Commenting, Tomilola Tometi, Sales & Partnerships Executive at AltSchool Africa, said “This partnership marks a significant milestone in AltSchool Africa’s mission to bring its array of world-class learning programs and career development services to millions of Africans, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed”.

She added that “this initiative perfectly aligns with ayoba’s mission to bridge the digital divide and to support Africa’s digital future by development programs with key stakeholders in the African startup ecosystem”.
