CNCF & Andela skill-up 20,000+ IT pros
Full disclosure, I grew up in East Africa. A portion of my heart and soul will be forever tied to the dry earth, abundant fruit & fish, the golden beaches and the unwavering smiles of the local people who allowed my family to be expatriates for a few years.
In technology, if not in life, it feels like everything comes full circle. So it was particularly welcome to hear news from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as the sustainable ecosystems for cloud-native software organisation now works alongside the Linux Foundation to launch an IT skills training initiative in mother Africa.
The CNCF along with Linux Foundation Education, the training and certification arm of the Linux Foundation, has partnered with Andela, a tech talent marketplace, to train (a targeted number of) some 20,000 to 30,000 African technologists in cloud-native basics.
