Women Techsters Bootcamp Cohort 5.0 application is officially open, and interested and eligible applicants are invited to apply. This opportunity is part of ongoing efforts by Women Techsters to expand access to digital skills training for women across Africa and support their entry into the global technology ecosystem.
The Cohort 5.0 bootcamp is designed as an entry point for girls and women who are interested in technology, regardless of their current level of experience. The programme focuses on inclusion, access, and practical learning, ensuring that participants gain relevant exposure to modern digital tools and career pathways in tech.
About the Program
The Virtual Women Techsters Bootcamp Program 2026 strives to provide adequate learning opportunities for participants to develop relevant coding skills, jump-start careers, or fill in knowledge gaps from emerging and AI-enabled technologies.
It is a three-week introductory class for girls and women aged between 16 and 40 in one of six learning tracks: Cybersecurity, Data Analysis, Product Design, Product Management, Software Development and Technical Project Management.
Whether you’re starting out, switching careers, or strengthening your tech foundation, this program combines practical learning with AI-powered tools to prepare you for today’s workplace and tomorrow’s opportunities. This is more than training, it’s a pathway into the tech ecosystem, offering exposure to real-world tools, structured learning content, and collaborative sessions.
Participants will engage in virtual sessions that are structured to fit beginners while also challenging those with some prior knowledge. The bootcamp creates a supportive learning environment that encourages confidence, curiosity, and long-term growth in technology careers.
