BRINGING TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES TO WOMEN IN NIGERIA

Join the Andela movement, to ensure that while the digital revolution may have begun in Silicon Valley, its future will be written in Lagos, Nairobi, and cities across Africa.



This one-of-a-kind opportunity is for women with an interest in technology, prior experience or education in the field notwithstanding. They are to be taught the basics of software development by a team of experienced engineers.

The only requirements are that the candidates are female, hardworking, detail oriented and have a passion for technology.

THE ANDELA FELLOWSHIP

The Fellowship is a four-year, paid Technical Leadership Program designed to shape you into an exceptional software engineer. Through your training and work with top global technology companies, you will become excellent in the professional and technical skills needed to become a technology leader, both on the continent and around the world.



THE APPLICATION PROCESS

Stage 1: Application and Aptitude Assessment

First, you’ll complete an application, which lets us learn more about you. Once we receive your application, we’ll email you (within 2-days of your application) an online test that measures logical reasoning and personality fit.



Andela does not have any degree or diploma requirements. However, if you have completed University or have a Higher National Diploma from a polytechnic, you must complete your one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) before applying to Andela, unless you have been formally exempted.



Stage 2: Home Study

Next, you’ll need to complete an introduction to software development self-study course focused on Python. You can find the downloadable version of this course here. During the course, you’ll complete a Proctor test that will evaluate your knowledge of the content you’ve learned. You will also be invited to a Slack Community called “Open Andela” to help guide and encourage you throughout the process.



Stage 3: In-Person Interview

Based on performance on the Aptitude Assessment and Proctor test, we invite a select group of applicants to interview with Andela. If selected, you’ll receive an email one week prior to the interview stage, inviting you to a panel of interviews made up of staff members and fellows at an Andela Campus.



Stage 4: Two-Week Boot Camp

Successful applicants participate in a two-week, full-time Boot Camp at an Andela Campus led by our senior engineers. You’ll be expected to learn independently as well as work on a team to deliver a final project. We’re looking for determination, work ethic, passion, and teamwork.



Stage 5: Acceptance

The highest performing participants are accepted into Andela’s four-year Technical Leadership Program.

I applied and I received the text too but I replied that I can't attend,have you done the home study test if yes,how was it?

Is it now crime to be male?

If una wan recruit or train, at least make una set quota aside for whatever category of people you need.

But to say "Female Only"... If a job is tagged "male only" una go shout discrimination so its unfair to tag it female only.

We all went to the same schools and paid the same fees.... If someone is better qualified, give the person the job... Or decide quota... If it is male 50%, female 50%, fine ! To give help, job or whatever simply cos a person carry front and back....

As if that is not enough, una boldly tag am female only.... Shey it is now useless to be male?

also told them I won't be coming o....I have not completed the home study test too
