GOMYCODE, Doballi Partner to Streamline Global Job Opportunities for African Tech Talents
GOMYCODE, a prominent technology education provider in Africa and the Middle East, has joined forces with Doballi, a Dubai-based tech talent recruitment platform, to enhance global job opportunities for African tech talents.
This partnership addresses the rising demand for African tech talent among global enterprises, which has been hindered by the lack of a unified curriculum or standardized training across Africa. Consequently, hiring African tech talent has often been described as a “hit or miss” process.
GOMYCODE, aimed to enhance Africa’s transition to the digital economy and increase GDP per capita, 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 partnership will foster opportunities for African tech talents seeking remote job opportunities.
The Co-founder and CEO of GOMYCODE, Yahya Bouhlel, said, “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,” he added.
On the partnership’s impact on the African tech talent ecosystem, Bouhlel is confident that the collaboration is a significant step forward for the African tech talent ecosystem.
“By providing a platform for global companies to access and hire rigorously vetted African tech professionals easily, we’re fostering economic growth and showcasing the incredible potential of African talent on the world stage,” he continued “We believe this will inspire more young Africans to pursue careers in technology and contribute to the continent’s digital transformation.”
Doballi, a company of AfroVision Technologies Limited, has built a formidable bridge between global business owners and vetted African tech talent by digitising technical assessments.
The CEO shares excitement about how their initiative 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 programme 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 (AI), particularly Language Models like Large Language Models (LLMs), across many sectors.
The Founder of Doballi, Osita Oparaugo, said he and his team are excited about the partnership because of the robustness of the GOMYCODE curriculum, which ultimately translates into the level of talent that graduates from their 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. We are ready to present their graduates to the world,” Oparaugo said.
The founder emphasised the organisation’s eagerness to explore collaborations and partnerships aimed at realising its vision of connecting global enterprises with rigorously tested and expertly vetted African tech talent.
Oparaugo also highlighted the organisation’s mission to support Africa in fostering sustained growth, driving transformation, and contributing to critical global solutions through its unique assets, particularly its young and dynamic workforce.
