Africa’s leading digital financial services provider, Moniepoint Inc, has officially opened calls for the second cohort of its flagship DreamDevs initiative, reports ITREALMS.
This year’s launch follows a successful pilot cohort that integrated four new engineers into the Moniepoint team, validating the program’s role as a sustainable talent pipeline.
The African technology sector continues to face a challenge where many graduates possess basic skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but lack the experience required for production-level software engineering.
DreamDevs addresses this specifically through a rigorous nine-week intensive bootcamp. Unlike broader training programs, DreamDevs immerses participants in hands-on sessions led by Moniepoint’s senior engineers.

The program remains exclusive, selecting only 20 high-potential candidates to ensure focused mentorship and high-quality training.
Felix Ike, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Moniepoint Inc., stated that the results from the first cohort validated their belief that with the right training and support, Africa's young tech talent can compete globally.

This year, the company is doubling down on its commitment by aiming to convert half of the participants into full-time employees.
Beyond internal goals, Moniepoint has positioned DreamDevs as a specialized pathway that complements the Federal Government's 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme. While 3MTT focuses on mass technical skills training, DreamDevs provides a direct route from foundational training to full-time employment.
This initiative, ITREALMS gathered, is part of Moniepoint’s wider talent development ecosystem, which includes the HatchDev partnership with NITHub Unilag, producing 500 specialized developers annually, and the Women-in-Tech program, which is now in its fifth year focusing on gender diversity in the digital economy.
Alumni of the program have already begun making a significant impact. Victor Adepoju, a member of the first cohort and now a Backend Engineer at Moniepoint, highlighted the program's technical depth, noting that he learned a great deal about cloud technologies, particularly the Google Cloud Platform.

He also emphasized that the program provided valuable soft skills, including planning and prioritization, which have been very useful in his day-to-day work.
Selection for the second cohort will be based on technical aptitude, learning potential, and alignment with Moniepoint's values. Interested graduates in computer science, engineering, or related fields with foundational knowledge in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are encouraged to apply before the January 20th, 2026 deadline.
Applications, ITREALMS also gathered, are currently being accepted through the official portal at dreamdevs.moniepoint.com.
