Mentor for EDACY Fast Track - Application Form

At EDACY, we believe in creating a world-class learning community where experts from different places and backgrounds share their knowledge.

WHO AND WHAT IS EDACY?
Each year, about 1 million African graduates enter the job market without the prospect of viable employment. Yet, millions of IT and engineering jobs remain unfilled. At EDACY, we are bridging the job-skills gap created by an insufficient education system. We challenge the status-quo by combining Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs) with the Swiss dual-education model to accelerate skills in engineering and information technology. A unique program where top universities and employers work together to produce skilled, employable innovative talents that are automatically absorbed into the workplace or supported to launch their venture.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Driven local (Senegal) and international (French & English speaking) mentors willing to impact Africa by sharing Technical/Vocational Skills with our next 20-30 Talents starting their 6-months immersion in enterprise by the end of November 2017.

PROFILE TALENTS
Followed our Program in Software Leadership
High potential yet-to-be-employed young graduates
Aged between 22 to 28 years
Based in Senegal (although different nationalities)
Currently identified through a highly selective process (MOOCs, Makers Day – code day, proctored exam, 3-day-bootcamp, technical acceleration)
High potential to be Innovators and Game-Changers for the African market.

WHY?
During the 6 months immersion, talents will have academic tutoring, MOOCs, 25 technical training-sessions and hands-on reinforcement working on a project in an enterprise and simultaneously their own personal project. They will be supported by a range of mentors willing to empower their potential and strengthen their skills. To ensure high quality top talents, mentors in both technical as well as vocational skills are a requisite.
