The selection process varies from partner to partner, but may include interviews, technical tests, personality assessments and other stages specific to each organisation.
When can I expect an answer?
Each Edtech partner has its own selection process, which can take varying amounts of time.
Depending on the case, you may have to wait several weeks, or even up to two months after the call for applications closes, to get a response.
Can I train for any of the jobs listed? What if the course of my choice doesn't appear in the country where I live?
Unfortunately not! The training courses are deployed by our partners, who have a presence in specific countries. Today, the Talent 4 Startups programme is present in 14 countries in Africa, with several training options available.
This means that depending on where you live, only certain courses will be available. To find out whether the course you want is available in your country, please fill in the application form!
If I am selected, what does the training grant include? Are the courses free?
It depends on the training partner! Depending on the partner, the Talent 4 Startups programme will cover all or part of the cost of the training. What's certain is that each course has been designed to be inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible.
Are training courses face-to-face, online or in a hybrid format?
