The Client/Student Profile
A cohort of 20 recent university graduates from Nakuru County who possessed theoretical computer science knowledge but lacked the practical, modern coding skills required by employers.

The Challenge
Despite having degrees, these graduates faced a “skills chasm.” Local companies were hiring remote developers because they couldn’t find local talent proficient in modern stacks like React, Node.js, and Python. The graduates were unemployed and frustrated, stuck in the “no experience, no job” loop.

The Solution
Africa Tech Space deployed its “Code-to-Career” Bootcamp.
Curriculum: A 12-week intensive program focusing on full-stack development and version control (Git).
Methodology: We moved away from lectures to project-based learning. Students built real inventory systems for local shops.
Soft Skills: We integrated sessions on remote work etiquette and freelance portfolio management.

The Impact
90% Placement Rate: Within 3 months of graduation, 18 out of 20 students secured employment or stable freelance contracts.
Local Economic Boost: Two graduates founded a digital agency that now employs five other youth.

Testimonial: “University taught me how computers work. Africa Tech Space taught me how to work with computers to make a living. I went from jobless to a Junior Developer in four months.”
