Four ways in. One path.

A curious teenager, a student, a career-changer and a working professional each start in a different place. They all find the same support: hands-on practice, a mentor and a route into work.

The big idea

The threat is big. We can't afford to train small.

Talent is not what is missing. Access is. So we built a path that takes a curious teenager or a career-changer from their first capture-the-flag to their first job: an open community, a six-month academy, mentors who are practising professionals, and employers who hire from it. We are proving it in Kenya, and sharing the model so it can work in any country on the continent.

“Talent has never been the problem in this country. Access has.”
