Moniepoint Inc has reaffirmed its commitment to building Africa’s technology talent pipeline, announcing the opening of applications for the second cohort of its flagship DreamDevs initiative.
Co-Founder and CTO Felix Ike described DreamDevs as a programme that equips recent graduates with industry-ready skills and hands-on experience to bridge the continent’s tech talent gap.
“The success of our first cohort validated that Africa’s young tech talent can compete globally. This year, we aim to convert half of our participants into full-time employees,” Ike said, adding that the initiative creates sustainable career pathways that drive Africa’s digital economy.
DreamDevs complements Moniepoint’s other talent development programmes, including HatchDev, in collaboration with NITHub, University of Lagos, which trains about 500 specialised developers annually, and the Women-in-Tech programme, now in its fifth year.
The initiative also aligns with the Federal Government’s 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT), programme, with Moniepoint serving as a key sponsor, offering graduates a specialised pathway from training to employment.
DreamDevs underscores Moniepoint’s broader mission to leverage technology to empower Africa’s youth and advance the continent’s digital economy.
