What specific problem are you solving?
230 million jobs across the African continent will require some level of digital skills by 2030. While 57 million jobs will require digital skills by 2030 in Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Rwanda. (Source: World Economic Forum (WEF) report, October 28, 2020) This is caused by inability for our current education across Africa not able to keep up with the current needed skills in the industry which makes graduates unemployable. This is why we decided to catch them young and when they get to university level they should start innovating solutions to problems and not acquiring basic digital skills.
What is your solution?

The skills provided are both digital, soft skills and career mentorship, such as computer literacy, Data Literacy, AI literacy, Communication skills, entrepreneurship skills, project-based skills like Computer maintenance and troubleshooting, Graphics design, website design, and more.
