Welcome to the month of love where we shed light on the best women-led edu-tech organization in Cameroon, Data Girl Technologies fostering the next generation of female tech talents in Africa. Today everyone talks about learning a tech skill. It might seem as though tech training has become the new gold mine and women in Africa are taking the lead in educating their fellow women and girls with tech skills.
Among the many organizations in Africa that empower women in tech, is the unbeatable Data Girl Technologies, fostering the next generation of female tech talents in Africa. This outstanding women-led tech training organization is a social enterprise, that incubates female tech talents with diverse digital skills ranging from web development, UI/UX design, digital marketing and lots more.
For over 3 years of existence, Data Girl Technologies has trained over 3000 girls across Africa with different tech skills and on different platforms, helping them find jobs, gain financial freedom, and above all playing a key role in elevating poverty that has been rooted in Africa for the longest time now.
Full Stack Web Development training
Speaking of the courses we offer; Data Girl Technologies offers the most sought-after web development Full-stack training in Cameroon. The Full-Stack web development training is Data Girl Technologies’ flagship program that runs for 3 months as a BootCamp to prepare these female developers for the tech market. Global demand for African developers is on the rise. Statistics further indicate that In Africa, women comprise 21% of the total population of developers, whereas the percentage of women junior developers in the US is 15%. and lots of recruiters are seeking a gender balance in their workspaces, thus the dire need to train many female developers to complete these teams. For example, In Nigeria, there are over 85,000 developers, 18% of this being women. With the high gender disparity among software engineers, there is a dire need for more female developers in the tech ecosystem.
Since 2022, Data Girl Technologies has been running her BootCamps in Buea, South West region of Cameroon and in 2023, she extended her training to Bamenda-North West region of Cameroon. The Full-Stack web development training comprises the MERN (Mungo-DB, Express, React, Node JS) stack package which contains the fundamentals of web development from HTML and CSS, through front-end web development frameworks like React, and Bootstrap, then we have javascript for functionality and finally backend where we teach girls server-side web development and database.
With the web development boot camp, our training doesn’t end there. We go out of our way to train our students on version control and work with remote teams where we teach these girls git and GitHub, then we help them build an online presence to promote their skills, and connect with hiring companies and other young professionals.
Our approach to teaching is project-based, where we train using the learning-by-doing method, thus, empowering these women and girls to be problem solvers. At the end of each of every training, we carry out project presentations where we have our students work on real-life projects-solving problems in their communities. Our training is tailored to the current digital needs of businesses as well as the needs of women, helping them gain access to the endless opportunities that lie in tech.
