Zoho, a global technology company, has announced a strategic partnership with She Code Africa (SCA), a leading non-profit organization dedicated to empowering and upskilling African women in technology.
Through this collaboration, Zoho will conduct Train the Trainer sessions for SCA Academy trainers, introducing them to Zoho Creator, the company’s low-code app development platform.
These trainers will, in turn, teach more students associated with SCA to build powerful applications using low-code technology to address real-world business problems.
The upskilling sessions are part of Zoho Creator’s ‘Young Creators Program’ (YCP). Zoho will host 30 female trainers from the SCA Academy, conducting a three-day in-depth training session on building enterprise-grade applications with low-code technology.
The training will take place at Zoho’s office in Lagos, Nigeria. Additionally, the trainers will receive free access to the Creator platform for one year, along with comprehensive training materials.
“At Zoho, we believe in supporting local communities by upskilling and hiring local talent, empowering local businesses with our technology, and promoting responsible and sustainable development. Our growth strategy, known as transnational localism, embodies these values. In continuation of this commitment to support progress at the grassroots, we are partnering with She Code Africa to equip Nigerian students with critical tech skills,” said Kehinde Ogundare, Country Head, Zoho Nigeria.
“The ‘Young Creators Program’ aims to bridge the technical skill gap and support talent-building for our youth who will be the next generation of leaders and professionals. We are glad to partner with Zoho to help our trainers learn the latest advancements in low-code technology, and then pass on the knowledge to our other students,” said Maryblessing Okolie, Community Manager of She Code Africa.
Launched globally in 2022, the Young Creators Program is designed to equip future business leaders with advanced digital skills and foster innovation in technology.
The program provides participants with access to Zoho Creator’s powerful platform, enabling them to build custom applications seamlessly without extensive programming knowledge.
Beyond skill development, the program boosts confidence, fosters personal growth, and opens doors to further opportunities in the technology industry.
To date, the program has trained over 2000 students globally on Zoho Creator, enabling participants to earn program completion certificates and exciting prizes.
