iLabAfrica, in partnership with Okki Solutions International GmbH, has launched a sector-specific bridging program designed to address the skills gap in the tech industry.
The partnership between iLabAfrica and Okki Solutions International GmbH represents a significant step in bridging the skills gap within the tech industry. Through their sector-specific bridging program, they aim to empower Kenyan talent with industry-relevant skills needed to thrive in global markets. This collaboration, focused on technology-driven solutions, is particularly important as it upskills participants in key areas such as Data Privacy, Cybersecurity, and Advanced IT Infrastructure. The program also emphasizes intercultural communication between Kenya and Germany, ensuring participants are well-prepared for international roles.
As part of this initiative, the program will offer training on European Union tech laws and regulations, providing Kenyan professionals with the knowledge they need to successfully engage with EU companies. The involvement of both local and international expertise underscores the importance of global collaboration to enhance the tech ecosystem in Kenya, contributing to its development as a tech hub in Africa.
This partnership aligns with iLabAfrica’s mission to support ICT innovation and development across Kenya, while Okki Solutions continues to focus on sustainable socio-economic progress through cultural cooperation. By offering this bridging program, the partnership positions Kenyan professionals for better global career prospects and greater impact in the digital economy.
The official launch of the program is scheduled for September 28, 2024, and will be particularly beneficial for professionals seeking remote work opportunities with European companies. This is a crucial step for Kenya’s ICT sector, as it continues to integrate with global markets and offer cutting-edge solutions for Africa’s tech challenges.
