Flutterwave launches accelerate workshop to Equip Young Africans with In-Demand Tech Skills

Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, recently unveiled the Flutterwave Accelerate Workshop, a two-day virtual coaching program designed to equip young Africans with practical skills for success in the tech industry.

The workshop targets university students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals, providing direct access to industry expertise in four high-demand career paths: Data privacy and Cybersecurity, Design, Marketing, and Product Management. Sessions will be led by accomplished tech professionals from within and beyond Flutterwave, including Ted Oladele, CEO of Mira and former VP of Design & Product at Flutterwave; Noel Ozoemena, Senior Manager of Branding and Storytelling; Nujinim Egwegbete-Odukwu, Head of Infrastructure Security; Abisola Epoyun, Data Privacy Manager; and Oluwatobiloba Animashaun, Product Manager at Flutterwave.  

This initiative stems from Flutterwave’s belief that providing youth access, and opportunity can unlock Africa’s potential. The company recognises that the continent’s greatest asset is its young, dynamic population and remains committed to enabling innovation through both financial solutions and talent development programs.
