I wrote about AfricaPlan Foundation, a US-based nonprofit helping young Nigerians achieve their tech dreams through its HackathonAfrica, a fully-funded residential boot camp training programme. The boot camp offers a 3-month immersive training designed to mould university graduates in Nigeria’s southeast into web developers through a comprehensive curriculum and very immersive hands-on learning approach. So far 2 cohorts—representing 40 young Nigerians—have completed training in technology and entrepreneurship, including internships. Many of the students work for the same companies where they completed their internships. Over the next few years, the foundation plans to increase the number per cohort and also add one or two more instances per year. See link: https://lnkd.in/dBWigsNX

Amarachi Iheakam, a Nigerian graduate in microbiology, was facing a tough job market. But then she discovered the AfricaPlan Foundation's Hackathon Bootcamp Program. This fully-funded residential program trains university graduates in web development, AI, and entrepreneurship, setting them up for success in the tech industry. Through the program, Amarachi and her team developed a platform called Craftconnect, which connects clients with artisans. Now, she's interning at a tech firm. While the foundation currently focuses on graduates in the Southeast, founder Oni Chukwu plans to expand HackathonAfrica to other regions in Nigeria, tackling the country's widespread unemployment.
