TechUp Africa in partnership with Junior Chamber International, Scrimba, and DataCamp is empowering 1,000 beneficiaries with scholarships, mentoring, and community support, helping them embark on successful tech careers.
The TechUp Africa Mentorship Program (TAMP) is designed to equip 1,000 young Africans with the skills and mentorship needed to excel in the tech industry with focus on high-demand skills including Data Analysis, Data Science, Data Engineering, AI Engineering, and Front-end Development. This initiative is a 6-month training program where participants would undergo comprehensive training to gain practical knowledge and skills in these high-demand skills, participate in weekly and monthly mentorship sessions, industry network with mentors and peers as well as earn certificates at the end of the program.
