Two SF Fellows working through code together at a shared workstation in a real office
A fellowship for young Africans

Trained in tech. Placed in real work. Hired for good.

We train young Africans in Salesforce and IT, then place them where the experience is real.

Most programs stop at a certificate. We don’t.

Every Fellow earns a six-month placement inside a real NGO we equip with free enterprise systems, so classroom skills become the experience employers actually hire for. Based in Accra, working across Africa and beyond.

The problem we exist for

A certificate isn’t a career.

Every year, thousands of young Africans finish tech-training programs and still can’t get hired, because employers want experience and a course cannot give you that. That gap between trained and hired is where good programs quietly fail. Closing it is the entire reason we exist.

Featured analysis

Certified but still unemployed.

Nigeria’s 3MTT has trained 135,000+ people. Ghana’s One Million Coders drew 94,000 applications in 48 hours. Yet across Africa, training rarely ends in a job: a review of 113 evaluations found only about one in three showed real employment gains. What works is training plus real work, six months inside a company building things employers can see. That is the model we run.

How the fellowship works

Train. Place. Employ.

Three stages. One clear path from training to a real job, and an NGO that gains modern systems along the way.

Stage 01

Train

Salesforce + IT

ServiceNow & AWS next

  • Hands-on Salesforce and enterprise IT training.
  • Built by practitioners, taught for real work.
  • Cohort-based, mobile-friendly, no fluff.

Stage 02

Place

6 months+

On a real, live system

  • A six-month+ placement inside a real NGO.
  • We set that NGO up with free systems first.
  • Real data. Real deadlines. Real team.

Stage 03

Employ

Hired

Experience + references = a job

  • Provable live-system hours on your CV.
  • Real references from a real supervisor.
  • You apply from strength, not from zero.

And NGOs win too

Two problems, one answer.

The same move that makes a Fellow hireable equips an under-resourced NGO with free enterprise systems and skilled hands. Nobody is a charity case. Both sides win.

Who the fellowship is for

Two people. One move. Everybody wins.

If you’re trained but not hired

Get the experience that gets you the job.

Free training in Salesforce and IT, a real six-month placement, and references that open doors. You bring the drive; we open the door.

Become a Fellow

If your NGO runs on spreadsheets

Get modern systems and skilled hands, at no cost.

We set your NGO up with enterprise tools (Salesforce, Google for Nonprofits and more) at no cost, then place a trained Fellow to help you run them. Registered NGOs anywhere are welcome.

Why the fellowship works

We close the missing link. Rooted in Ghana, built by practitioners.

01

We close the missing link.

Most programs stop at training. We don't. Every Fellow gets a minimum six-month placement on a live system before they ever apply for a job. Experience is the product.

02

Two problems, one fellowship.

The same move trains a young person and equips an NGO. Nobody is a charity case; both sides bring something and both sides win.

03

Rooted in Ghana, built by practitioners.

Home base is Ghana; our reach is the continent and beyond. We're built by people who have sat in the funder-review meeting and the job interview, not consultants.
