Developers in Vogue


Description

Developers in Vogue aims at creating a relevant community of highly skilled developers who are passionate about using technology to revolutionize Africa and beyond. We provide the ideal environment for women to code, connect and collaborate. We train them using a practical and project-oriented curriculum. Dedicated mentors are also assigned to them to provide them with the needed support. The ladies also get the opportunity to work on real-time projects and jobs to apply their skills and earn an income. Our solution is digitally inclusive, labour market inclusive and financially inclusive. Ladies who come unto the Developers in Vogue program need not have a coding background. All we need is their passion to learn and enough motivation to get them committed to the program. We have partnered with tech companies who recruit the ladies who complete our program for internships, full-time and remote roles. We are also very particular on giving back so the ladies are required to invest a minimum of 5 hours per month to teach a young girl how to code. What we believe in is simple: Technology for Impact. The stories of the ladies our company is impacting is enough reason for us to keep going. As one of the most promising tech startups in the country, we're showing the world that not only do we know how to take great selfies, we know how to build game-changing apps too.

Replicability

Starting from Accra, Ghana, we have been able to replicate our work in 4 other regions. The big picture is to have Developers In Vogue in every single African country. We have already started working on it - by establishing strategic partnerships with the key players in various African countries. Last month, we launched our online fellowship where women from anywhere in Africa can get access to our learning resources, exposure to networks and job opportunities. We're very confident that in the next few months, we'd be able to extend our impact beyond the borders of Ghana.
