ASAP is a program aimed at engaging resourceful Student
Ambassadors to lead Andela campaigns and events in their universities and
communities to create awareness about Andela and contribute to the development
of technology leaders in Africa.
Andela is developing a community of high-quality technology
talent across the African continent that will drive the current and future
phases of tech-enabled growth around the world. With the fastest growing
population and the highest youth population in the world, we believe Africa is
one of the greatest untapped markets for talent development.
At Andela, we find the brightest young people in Africa,
train them to be world-class developers, and connect them with employers around
the world looking for top technical talent. Passion, excellence,
entrepreneurial spirit, and rejecting the status quo are just a few of the
things that Andela team members have in common.
We have a vision to train 100,000 world-class developers in
the next 10 years – and we want you to help make it happen.
Being an Andela Student Ambassador requires an understanding
of the Andela Fellowship, its model of operation and ethos. It takes someone
who can lead, inspire others and get things done. The Andela Student Ambassador
aspires to accomplish beyond what is expected and is passionate and
enthusiastic about software development. As an Andela Student Ambassador, you
will work with the Andela team to tailor program initiatives to campus-specific
opportunities.
