CodeHive residential hands-on technical training program 2023 for young East African Women (Fully Sponsored)

Date: Oct 8, 2022

Deadline 21st October 2022

CodeHive is the AkiraChix signature program. It is a one-year fully sponsored residential hands-on technical training program. It provides education and economic opportunity to young women between 18 and 24 years from underserved communities who have completed high school education but are unable to further their education due to financial constraints.

We look to recruit 100 highly motivated young women from Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and the refugee communities in Kenya, to join the codeHive class of 2023.

Students in the codeHive program receive on-demand technology and non-cognitive skills. Students get the opportunity to attend and network at technology conferences and workshops.

All students are required to develop market-ready prototypes, pitch to prospective employers, and secure a three-month paid internship.
