How does the selection process work?
If you decide to apply, this questionnaire is the first step. It enables us to collect all applications. If your profile is eligible, you'll be notified at the end of the questionnaire.
Then, all eligible candidates will be redirected to our Edtech partners, who will carry out the 2nd stage of selection, which varies from partner to partner, but you can expect interviews or short tests.
When can I expect an answer?
The second selection stage varies from one edtech partner to another. Some partners have longer processes than others. In these cases, you'll have to wait several weeks or even a few months (maximum 2 months from the end of the call for applications).
Training courses will start soon after the selection process (spring 2024).
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! Training courses are deployed by our partners, who have a presence in specific countries. Today, the Talent 4 Startups program is present in some 20 countries in Africa, with 40 possible training courses.
This means that depending on where you live, only certain courses will be available. To find out if 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?
That depends on the training partner! Everything will be specified in the 2nd selection stage. Depending on the partner, the Talent 4 Startups program will cover all or part of the training costs. What's certain is that each training 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?
It depends on the Edtech partner. This is specified in the questionnaire.
