Why this program exists?

Many Africans in the diaspora are working in fields unrelated to their long-term goals, and tech remains one of the clearest paths to better pay, remote flexibility, and mobility. But quality training is expensive, and self-teaching without structure is slow.

Common questions

Is the program really free?

Yes. There’s no tuition or hidden fee for accepted participants. The program is funded by MGP Projects LLC as a community initiative.

Not for this cohort. We’re starting with these four countries and plan to expand to more diaspora locations in future rounds — join the waitlist to be notified.

We ask applicants to choose one track per cohort so we can keep class sizes small and give everyone proper attention.

You’ll receive a certificate of completion and a portfolio project, plus access to MGP’s alumni community for referrals and continued learning.

No. Both tracks are built as foundations courses for people making a career change into tech, so no prior experience is required.

Seats for this cohort are limited.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — apply early to secure your place.
