Wentors, an organization dedicated to empowering women in technology, is thrilled to announce its second partnership with DataCamp, a leading platform specializing in teaching data and AI skills.

This collaboration is a vital step towards narrowing the gender gap in the tech industry, providing valuable learning opportunities for women in technology across Africa.

The mission of Wentors is clear: address the significant gender imbalance in the tech sector. Young women globally face challenges in establishing themselves within the industry due to this disparity.

Wentors firmly believes that taking conscious action can lead to a future where men and women share equal positions at all levels in the tech field.

Through this partnership, Wentors aims to equip women with essential skills, enabling them to thrive in the dynamic landscape of data and AI.

Manuella, one beneficiary of the previous partnership, shared her success story: “I leveraged the knowledge I gained studying SQL to apply for a PM role and I got the job!” Her experience highlights the practical applicability of the skills acquired through DataCamp, translating directly into professional advancement.

Blessing, another participant, echoes the sentiment of transformative change: “Securing my new position has been transformative — the skills acquired through DataCamp, especially in data analysis and programming, opened doors to professional growth.”

Beyond career advancement, these acquired skills have proven to be a key to unlocking fulfilling experiences and a higher quality of life for Blessing.

These testimonials underscore the real-world impact of Wentors and DataCamp's commitment to empowering women in tech. It goes beyond learning; it’s about providing women with the tools to create meaningful change in their professional lives.

Wentors envisions a future where the tech industry boasts an equal number of male and female CEOs of multibillion-dollar companies. To create this future, Wentors believes in taking proactive steps, rather than leaving gender balance to chance.

The organization aims to foster a community where women not only pursue their dreams of working in tech but also actively support, train, and nurture each other.
