The problem that we are trying to solve is the long-term, systemic university-industry gap in Africa leading to brain drain, looting, insurgencies and even terrorist activity on the continent

Africa’s graduate unemployment problem is a global problem requiring novel solutions to offset the mismatch between knowledge and skills acquired by graduates from universities and those required by industry

afriQA strategically bridges the university-industry gap by offering African university students fully-funded remote QA internships . 

This initiative provides essential training and mentoring in Quality Engineering, presenting a realistic view of a career in tech for those that are trying to meet the realities of the fourth industrial revolution. 

Our solution serves students from Universities in Africa with focus on girls in order to help them kick-start and launch a career in Tech 

Our team's unique strength lies in our deep ties to the community we are serving. As the Team Lead, I grew up in Africa and have firsthand experience with the challenges our target population faces. 

Additionally, our team members have diverse backgrounds and experiences, with over 50 years combined experience in Quality Engineering

We have partnered with 10 universities so far and currently running a proof of concept with 2 universities

We are applying to Solve because we believe in the power of collective action and collaboration to address complex challenges. Solve's platform offers a unique opportunity to connect with partners who can provide both financial and non-monetary support to advance our solution.
