In a major move to expand access to digital education, Axia Africa has launched Cohort 9 of its flagship training program, alongside the AxiaTech4All Scholarship, an initiative designed to make tech learning accessible to everyone across the continent.

The new cohort is open to 100,000 applicants from all over Africa, out of which 10,000 participants will be awarded tuition free scholarships to learn in-demand tech skills such as product design, data analysis, product management, and software development.

Through AxiaTech4All, scholarship recipients will only cover a small monthly certification fee, a requirement for accreditation with Axia Africa’s U.S.-based certifying partners while enjoying full access to expert led training, mentorship, and project based learning.

Speaking on the initiative, Olawale Samuel, CEO of Axia Africa, said, “Our mission is simple,to make quality tech education available to every young African, regardless of their financial background. AxiaTech4All is a bridge to that reality and a step towards a more inclusive digital Africa.”

Following the impact of its previous women focused scholarship, which recorded over 21,000 applications, Axia Africa is now opening the door wider to ensure more young Africans can acquire the skills and confidence needed to thrive in the global tech space.

Applications are now open via Axia Africa’s official website and social media platforms.
