Flutterwave has launched a two-day virtual coaching program designed to give young Africans a critical edge in the tech industry. The initiative aims to bridge the skills gap by providing practical, industry-focused training to university students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals across the continent.
Empowering the Next Generation of Tech Talent
The Accelerate Workshop offers participants direct access to leading experts in four high-demand areas: Data Privacy and Cybersecurity, Design, Marketing, and Product Management. Sessions are to be facilitated by respected figures from both within and outside Flutterwave’s ecosystem, including:
Ted Oladele, CEO of Mira and former VP of Design & Product at Flutterwave, Noel Ozoemena, Senior Manager of Branding and Storytelling, Nujinim Egwegbete-Odukwu, Head of Infrastructure Security, Abisola Epoyun, Data Privacy Manager, Oluwatobiloba Animashaun, Product Manager at Flutterwave
By giving participants practical exposure to these fields, Flutterwave is equipping them not just for current job markets, but for the future of Africa’s digital economy.
Investing in Africa’s Greatest Asset
At the heart of this initiative is Flutterwave’s belief that Africa’s young, dynamic population is its greatest resource. By offering education, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities, the company hopes to foster a new generation of innovators who will drive growth across sectors.
“Access and opportunity can unlock Africa’s immense potential,” Flutterwave emphasized in its launch announcement. Beyond building financial products, the company is steadily investing in talent development as part of its broader vision for economic empowerment.
