out of 156 countries when it comes to the gender gap. At face value, this might seem positive, but the reality is that the country features poorly when it comes to educational attainment and economic participation and opportunity . Less than 13% of girls attain STEM skills compared with more than 27% of boys.
For software engineers, this means that there is a significant gender divide that must be addressed. With 50% of technology users being women, it's essential they become more involved in the engineering process.
Members of ALX's cohort will be designing solutions for communities, cities, countries and the virtual world. As such, they'll be at the forefront of Africa’s trajectory into the fourth industrial revolution and gain the skills vital to help drive the continent’s economic growth. After completing the programme, they'll receive internationally recognised software engineer certification and be invited to join “The ROOM”, a community providing access to a global network of resources, job opportunities and career support.It's an investment that's been made possible after ALI's acquisition of leading Silicon Valley institution, Holberton Inc.
