AWC Women and Girls Digital Technology Hub: Apply Now for AI & Data Science Training

The Africa Women Conference (AWC) has officially opened applications for its groundbreaking initiative — the AWC Women and Girls Digital Technology Hub AI & Data Science Program. This dynamic and fully virtual program is tailored to equip over 100 women and girls from across Africa with high-demand skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, and Data Analysis.

About the Program

This intensive 9-month learning journey is split into two distinct phases:

• Phase 1 (3 Months) – Starting in July 2025, participants will engage in structured online training with live bi-weekly interactive sessions, guided mentorship, and foundational courses in AI and data science. This phase is designed to help learners gain core technical knowledge while being part of a supportive digital community.

• Phase 2 (6 Months) – Upon successful completion of the first phase, participants will transition into a self-paced learning period with continued access to premium DataCamp licenses. This extended access allows participants to deepen their technical expertise, explore specialized data topics, and pursue additional certifications at their own pace.

Who Should Apply?

The program is open to:

• Women and girls aged 15–45

• Residing anywhere on the African continent

• With basic digital literacy

• Who have access to a laptop and stable internet connectivity

Whether you're a high school student exploring tech careers, a university student studying STEM, or a young professional looking to transition into AI and data science, this opportunity is tailored to unlock your potential.

“Our goal is to build a future-ready generation of African women who can lead in technology, drive innovation, and participate meaningfully in the global digital economy,” — AWC Program Coordinator

Important Notes

• Attendance at bi-weekly live sessions is mandatory. Only active participants will retain their access to the extended 6-month DataCamp license.

• Commitment, curiosity, and consistency will be key to successfully completing the program.

Why This Matters

The gender gap in tech remains a pressing issue across Africa. Through this initiative, AWC aims to bridge that gap by offering inclusive, affordable, and high-quality training tailored specifically for women and girls. With Africa rapidly emerging as a global digital hub, programs like this ensure that no woman is left behind in the AI revolution.
