As digital transformation accelerates across the continent, the demand for skilled professionals in cybersecurity and data science has hit an all-time high, reports ITREALMS.
From protecting critical digital infrastructure to driving data-led decision-making, these fields now sit at the very center of innovation, governance, and business growth.
In a strategic response to this demand, TD Africa, in collaboration with the Enugu Tech Festival (ETF) and the Enugu State Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, has announced the launch of a fully sponsored training initiative branded “Code Your Defence.”
This initiative is meticulously designed to equip young Africans with practical, industry-relevant skills that align with global standards. Unlike traditional academic courses, “Code Your Defence” employs a structured curriculum that blends foundational knowledge with intensive hands-on learning and real-world applications, ensuring that participants are not merely educated, but are fully job-ready upon completion.
Speaking on the launch, Fridel Makun, Head of Marketing at TD Africa, emphasized the organization’s commitment to building digital capacity and creating tangible opportunities for the next generation.
