Onja Tech Community
Meet the new wave of talent changing the face of tech
Onja Tech Community is a vibrant community of developers, product managers and entrepreneurs. We want to close the digital divide so more brilliant Malagasy youth can access meaningful work in the tech industry, and gain the skills, experience and confidence to find solutions to some of the most pressing development challenges.
Tech Talks are an important part of this work, and an extension of our mission to train underprivileged youth into world-class software developers.
These peer- and expert-led webinars help shape a more innovative tech ecosystem that values and uplifts exceptional talent, regardless of geography.
Great technology is built by high-performing teams with access to expert knowledge!
If you're an accomplished software developer, consider sharing your expertise with our experienced developers as a guest speaker. If you are an intermediate-level software developer, consider mentoring our students or junior developers.
You can learn more about how we help prepare developers for AI and the future work in this blog.
Onja Tech Talks is where we uncover industry trends, best practices and tips for career development to help African tech talent contribute to the future of tech. Every Tech Talk helps developers build the technical expertise and professional skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.
We cover a wide range of topics in the pursuit of upskilling our developers, including:
AI, emerging technologies, developer tooling, industry trends.
Web foundations, frontend engineering, backend engineering and engineering craft.
Leadership, communication, project management, and collaboration.
Testimonials
“For me, being part of that journey has been both humbling and energising. It has reminded me of my own north star and why I enjoy what I do so much: To play the role of the bridge between business and tech, product and commercialisation, strategy and execution. And in this particular case between parts of the world that should be much more connected than they are.”
If you're looking to deepen your involvement, consider becoming an Onja Mentor.
Mentors play a vital role in ensuring our students have access to the same guidance, industry exposure and career advice available to professionals in more established tech ecosystems.
Mentorship can take many forms. Together, we'll design an engagement that works for you while creating lasting impact for the next generation of world-class software developers.
