Call For Applications - Hubiquitous IoT Talent Program

As part of the HUBiquitous Project, we are launching a Call for Applications for our Talent Program!

 

The Talent Program will span a period of four (4) months, starting in April and ending in July of 2023. It includes an online Learning Program and a Bootcamp/Hackathon to be organized in 5 African countries, namely Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Egypt. This call is therefore open to IoT hobbyists/enthusiasts, developers, and engineers (or people with technical backgrounds) from these countries. 

 

The Learning Program covers our IoT Training Course, which is designed for people looking to get into the world of IoT for the first time or to improve the knowledge and skills they already have in this field. The specific topics covered in this course are outlined in the Topics section below. The content of the course will be available on our online learning platform, the Learning Center,  to which selected applicants will be given access. The Learning Program will include online training sessions and hands-on sessions at the selected hubs for this Call, which all participants will be required to attend. Participants will attend the lab sessions at the hubs in their countries that are closest to them.
