What you stand to gain
- In-demand digital skills that employers are looking for
- Industry exposure through the programme’s partners
- Hands-on experience you can apply right away
Not studying IT? You can still apply
Many students assume tech programmes are only for those in computer science or IT. This one is open to students from any discipline. Whether you study business, agriculture, education, or the arts, digital skills can make you more competitive and open new career paths. What matters most is curiosity and a willingness to learn.
A push for girls in tech
The flyer says girls are “strongly encouraged to apply.” This fits Plan International’s mission of equality, summed up in its tagline, Until we are all equal. Young women are still underrepresented in technology, and programmes like this help close that gap.
