LAGOS – In a bid to unleash Africa’s tech poten­tial and foster a thriving tech ecosystem that drives innovation and sustainable growth, Moniepoint Inc, Africa’s leading digital financial services provider, has rolled out a transformative initiative, DreamDevs with its call for entries. This ambitious program seeks to nurture the continent’s brightest minds, equipping them with practical tech skills and in­valuable real-world experience that will mitigate current challenges around tech talent sourcing in Africa.

DreamDevs targets very recent grad­uates with a background in technology, computer science, engineering, or re­lated fields who possess fundamental programming knowledge that include HTML, CSS and foundational JavaS­cript.

Over a rigorous nine-week boot camp, these young tech enthusiasts will receive hands-on training and exposure to cut­ting-edge industry technology.

“We believe in investing in Africa’s future,” says Felix Ike, Co-Founder/ Chief Technology Officer, Moniepoint Inc, “and that starts with empowering young people as we join hands to grow Africa’s best talent through technolo­gy. 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.”

He continues: “We have always en­visioned a transformative approach to technology, using it to power the dreams of millions and engineering financial happiness across the land.

“The DreamDevs initiative perfect­ly aligns with this vision. By providing participants with practical experience, upskilling opportunities, startup incu­bation, and product development sup­port, DreamDev equips them to become invaluable assets to the tech industry. We are thrilled to be part of an initiative that supports the government’s efforts to build a thriving digital economy for Nigeria.”

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.

As Africa’s tech revolution continues to transform the continent’s socio-eco­nomic landscape from fintech to AI, Moniepoint has consistently demon­strated its fidelity to improving the tech talent pipeline with initiatives like Mon­iepoint HatchDev, which is carried out in collaboration with NITHub Unilag, and organized as a nine-month specialised training programme that produces 300 junior software engineers, 100 intelligent systems developers, and 100 IoT/embed­ded systems engineers annually
