Meet Ingenii Alpha Cohort
We’re thrilled to introduce the maiden cohort of the Ingenii Fellowship. The fellowship is aimed at helping tech enthusiasts with little or no technical experience to learn and gain technical or non-technical hands-on experience. Admitted fellows are provided with courses and a learning guide that give context to their self-learning. This is as they are also assigned mentors, who are seasoned professionals in the Nigerian tech space, to oversee their growth and development during the cohort.
For this cohort, thirteen fellows were admitted into three tracks — Product Design, Product Management and Software Management. Worthy of mention is the fact that the fellows are presently working on a capstone project that will herald their learning and mentorship programme.
We are excited to finally unveil the faces of these enthusiastic lots. They’ll be launching forth into the tech space soonest. You might want to watch out for these ones!
