Developers in Vogue, WIT

The Challenge

Women across Africa faced significant barriers to accessing technical skills, technology careers, mentorship and employment opportunities.

Developers in Vogue created programs designed to help close that gap through technology education, community and career opportunities.

My Role

As Program Manager, I was responsible for designing and delivering technology-focused programs, coordinating stakeholders and creating experiences that connected participants with skills, community and employment opportunities.

What I Did

• Designed and delivered technology education programs.
• Coordinated bootcamps, hackathons and community events.
• Worked with corporate, development and ecosystem partners.
• Coordinated program logistics and stakeholder relationships.
• Supported initiatives spanning web and app development, AI and data science.
• Helped connect trained women to employment opportunities.
• Delivered programs in partnership with organizations including Google, Stanbic Bank, GIZ, Camfed and the Mastercard Foundation.

The Outcome

Projects delivered with major technology, financial and development organizations.

What I Learned

Program management is ultimately about creating the conditions for people to succeed.

I learned that strong programs require more than curriculum or events. They require thoughtful participant experiences, capable partners, operational discipline and a clear connection between participation and real-world outcomes.
