Oluwabunmi, a 23-year-old from an underserved community in Ekiti State, had never imagined herself in the world of technology. She didn’t own a computer, wasn’t tech-savvy, and had no idea of the opportunities in the digital economy. That changed when she attended one of our seminars with her friend Amarachi.
During the 6-hour session, they heard from young people who had built successful careers in software development, freelancing, and business process outsourcing (BPO). Inspired, both signed up for our next bootcamp.
The first step was a 3-week digital literacy program. At the end, participants had to pass a rigorous test to move forward. Oluwabunmi passed, but Amarachi fell short. Instead of being excluded, Amarachi was encouraged to reapply for the next cohort. This model creates second chances rather than closed doors.
Oluwabunmi advanced into the 8-week bootcamp, learning coding, data management, and troubleshooting, followed by a 4-week job readiness training on communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Reflecting on her journey, she says:
“Before Omnific Works, I thought opportunities like this were only for people in big cities. Now I have a career in tech, and I can support myself and my family.”
She completed a 3-month internship with one of our partners and secured a full-time role. Today, Omnific Works continues to mentor her as she grows in her career.
In 2026, we aim to replicate this roadmap — from skills training to job placement and mentorship — with 200 young people, including women like Oluwabunmi and Amarachi.
Together, they will shape Nigeria’s workforce and future.
