Learn and Get Paid With Andela
I was going through my Facebook feed last week when i first saw this wonderful opportunity that i feel Nigerian youths should take advantage of.
The most wonderful thing about the Andela application process is that higher educational qualification is not mandatory. All you will need is your laptop, internet connection and determination to be accepted into the program. It also has the support of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google.
THE ANDELA FELLOWSHIP
The Andela Fellowship is a four-year paid technical leadership program designed to shape you into an elite software developer. The program requires that you dedicate yourself to the broader Andela community and requires that you apply yourself and challenge yourself to constantly improve personally and professionally throughout the four years of the Fellowship. Through extensive training and work experience with top global technology companies, you’ll master the professional and technical skills needed to become a technology leader, both on the African continent and around the world.
