GOMYCODE, a leading technology education provider in Africa and the Middle East, has partnered with Doballi, to facilitate the absorption of Africa’s pool of tech talent into global workplaces.

The partnership with Doballi, a Dubai-based innovative tech talent recruitment platform, comes amid a growing demand by global enterprises for African tech talent, but without a unified curriculum or standardised training across the continent.

Mr Yahya Bouhlel, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of GOMYCODE stated this in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday.

Bouhlel added that the lack of standardised training of tech talent has resulted in the process of hiring African tech talent as a “hit or miss”; and the gap keeps widening.

He said that GOMYCODE has trained over 40,000 individuals with in-demand tech skills in over 30 cities across Africa and the Middle East, where it operates.

The measure, the CEO said, was part of the organisation’s mission to accelerate Africa’s transition to the digital economy and increase GDP per capita.

According to him, the partnership with Doballi will facilitate securing a place in global enterprises for the pool of African tech talent seeking remote job opportunities.

He explained that the partnership with Doballi was in line with the company’s mission to empower individuals with the tech skills they need to succeed in the digital economy.

“Partnering with Doballi allows us to directly connect our talented graduates with global job opportunities, further enhancing the value of a GOMYCODE education.

“This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to providing our students with a direct pathway to fulfilling and impactful careers.

“This partnership with Doballi is a significant step forward for the African tech talent ecosystem,” the CEO said.

He added that GOMYCODE and Doballi were fostering economic growth and showcasing the incredible potential of African talent on the world stage.

This, he said, was being done by providing a platform for global companies to access and hire rigorously vetted African tech professionals easily.

“We believe this will inspire more young Africans to pursue careers in technology and contribute to the continent’s digital transformation,” he said.

Bouhlel said that Doballi, a company of AfroVision Technologies Ltd, has built a formidable bridge between global business owners and vetted African tech talent by digitising technical assessments.

He added that the development has brought the best African tech talent into Doballi with agility and flexibility and made it easy for global enterprises to hire them.

“With this innovative solution, Doballi provides borderless access to rigorously tested and expertly vetted African tech talent ready to work across all time zones, ensuring employers hire the best talent with the right skill sets and the talent they can trust.

“Doballi will provide this platform for the job-ready African tech talent graduating from GOMYCODE’s tech program and for millions of African tech talents seeking remote job opportunities.

“To ensure that these talents remain relevant in the workplace, Doballi will also offer monthly webinars on tech trends, masterclasses, and various upskilling courses, especially on using Generative Artificial Intelligence, particularly Large Language Models across many sectors,” he said.

On his part, Doballi founder, Mr Osita Oparaugo, expressed excitement over the collaboration with GOMYCODE for its curriculum, which translates into the level of talent that graduates from the company’s centres across Africa.

“I can assure you that GOMYOCDE has designed an industry-driven curriculum that can be benchmarked against the best in the world, and we are ready to present their graduates to the world.

“We are open to collaborations and partnerships that help us achieve our vision of connecting global enterprises with rigorously tested and expertly vetted African tech talents.

“We are also ready to work across all time zones in line with our mission to support Africa in creating sustained growth, driving transformation, and contributing to critical global solutions with her unique assets, a young and dynamic workforce,” Oparaugo said. (NAN)
