Your Squad
What do Google, Apple, and Microsoft have in common? Besides being some of the most respected tech companies, they were all founded by BFFs. You can’t change the world by yourself. That’s why you’ll be part of a squad, a small group of Kibo learners who support each other in the learning journey.
Cohorts
When you join Kibo, you’ll be part of a cohort of learners across Africa and the globe. Whether it’s working together on a project or rotating DJs in the music lounge, your cohort will become your community, pushing you to succeed and cheering you on every step. As the proverb says, “If you want to go far, go together.”
Mentors
Having a mentor gives you an edge in your career and learning. You will be matched with a tech professional and meet with them regularly on live video. Your mentor will guide you and give you an insider’s view of working in the tech industry.
In Real Life
Your local hub is your IRL community, because sometimes you really do have to get off the internet.
Your local advisor will organize meetups, help you become part of the local tech scene, and make sure you are set up for success.
