Moniepoint Inc, a leading digital financial services provider in Africa, has launched the DreamDevs Initiative, a transformative program designed to nurture the continent’s brightest minds in technology.
The initiative aims to equip recent graduates with practical tech skills and invaluable real-world experience, addressing the current challenges around tech talent sourcing in Africa.
The DreamDevs program is open to recent graduates with a background in technology, computer science, engineering, or related fields, who possess fundamental programming knowledge.
Over a rigorous nine-week boot camp, participants will receive hands-on training and exposure to cutting-edge industry technology.
According to Felix Ike, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Moniepoint Inc, “We believe in investing in Africa’s future, and that starts with empowering young people.
DreamDevs is about more than just training; it’s about creating a pathway for ambitious graduates to become the driving force of technological advancement in Africa.”
The initiative aligns with Moniepoint’s vision of using technology to power the dreams of millions and engineer financial happiness across the continent.
By providing participants with practical experience, upskilling opportunities, startup incubation, and product development support, DreamDevs equips them to become invaluable assets to the tech industry.
At the end of the boot camp, standout participants will earn internship opportunities, providing a gateway to further professional development, and all participants have the potential to secure full-time positions with Moniepoint.
This initiative is not Moniepoint’s first foray into developing Africa’s tech talent pipeline. The company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to improving the tech talent pipeline through initiatives like Moniepoint HatchDev, a nine-month specialized training program that produces junior software engineers, intelligent systems developers, and IoT/embedded systems engineers annually.
Universities and collaborating partners are expected to play a pivotal role in nurturing the next wave of tech dreamers and innovators through the DreamDevs program.
