FOUND Africa Technology exists to close the youth employment gap in Africa. We train young Africans in high-demand digital skills, verify every skill they earn, and connect them to paid projects, placements and seed funding. We operate across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa and beyond, and every figure below is counted from our own records right now — not estimated.

Which one are you?
Become a Digital Officer
Free training, a verified skills record, an official work email, and access to paid projects, competitions and seed funding. You need to be 16 or older and living in Africa. Nothing to pay, ever.
How the programme worksHire verified officers
Every officer in the directory is identity-verified, and every skill on their profile carries an issuer and an issuance date. Start with a 10-day pro-bono trial and convert the people who perform.
For employersPartner with us

Why choose FOUND
Free, and free forever
No application fee, no tuition, no fee to be placed. The curriculum is built on courses that are already free to the public, so no officer is ever asked to pay for access.
Skills that are checked, not claimed
A course only counts once we have checked the certificate against its issuer and issuance date. That is why employers can trust a FOUND profile on sight.
Built on Google Digital Skills for Africa
The foundation is Google's digital skills curriculum for Africa, plus Google Workspace and applied AI — including building and shipping a working web app.
The work is real, and it is recorded
Placements, paid projects and funded pitches are logged against the officer's profile with the date and value, so progress compounds into a public track record.

What we stand behind
A registered organisation
FOUND Africa Technology is a registered technology and workforce development organisation headquartered in Nigeria, with an operating presence in Newark, Delaware, USA.
Curriculum from named issuers
Officers train on Google Digital Skills for Africa, Google Workspace and applied AI foundations. Certificates are issued by those providers, not by us.
Identity verification before anything counts
No profile is listed to an employer, and no credential is counted, until the officer has passed identity verification.
Your data stays yours
Employers see only what an officer chooses to publish. Emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, bank details and documents are never exposed.
We never ask an officer for money
Not to apply, not to train, not to be placed. If anyone asks in our name, report it to support@fatech.app.
