Power Learn Project Africa (PLP), a Pan-African social impact organisation focused on equipping young people with future-ready digital skills, has officially opened applications for its June 2025 tech training intake.
This follows the successful graduation of 300 youth from the PLP x Safaricom Hook Tech Cohort, bringing the total number of graduates to 20,000 across Africa since the inception of the program in 2021.
“This is more than a graduation, it’s a national investment paying off,” said Mumbi Ndung’u, Executive Director of Power Learn Project Africa.
“We envision a future where every young African has equal access to digital skills, dignified livelihoods, and the ability to innovate from wherever they are. This partnership with Safaricom Hook has shown that when we decentralize opportunity and unite around a bold vision, we can build a tech-powered workforce that doesn’t just serve Africa’s future, it defines it.”

The program is part of PLP’s mission to train one million software developers across Africa and connect them to meaningful economic opportunities through employment, entrepreneurship, and upskilling.
It targets youth aged 18 – 35 from all of Kenya’s 47 counties who are passionate about technology and digital transformation.
The 16-week intensive software development program is fully funded and is designed to decentralise opportunity and make tech education accessible.
Participants are equipped with cutting-edge digital skills in front-end and back-end software development, and engaged in real-world hackathons, mentorship sessions, and project-based learning designed to accelerate their readiness for the future of work.
Additionally, the Talent Hub connects graduates to curated job and internship opportunities, freelance gigs, and entrepreneurial support.
