Techy Train Incubator, the leading social enterprise founded by social entrepreneur, Excellence Anurika Joshua, has officially launched a groundbreaking new platform called Hire Emmie. This innovative hybrid marketplace connects skilled African women in tech with short-term and project-based opportunities worldwide, aiming to close the gender gap in the tech industry and promote economic empowerment for women across the continent.
Hire Emmie was created in response to the growing need for flexible job opportunities that can tap into the vast potential of African female tech professionals. With global remote work on the rise and the IT outsourcing market continuing to grow, Techy Train Incubator recognized a major gap: African women were being left out of the global tech boom. Hire Emmie seeks to bridge that gap by connecting African women with global employers who are looking to diversify their talent pools.
“We realized there was a massive disconnect between the skills these women were gaining and the actual job opportunities available,” says Excellence Anurika Joshua, Founder and CEO of Techy Train Incubator. “Hire Emmie is our answer to that problem. It’s a platform that ensures both the talent and the employer get exactly what they need.”
Techy Train Incubator has already trained over 10,000 women in digital and tech skills, and Hire Emmie is the next step in helping these women find meaningful work. The platform guarantees accountability and success by matching qualified women with the right employers, ensuring smooth communication and project delivery.
“What makes Hire Emmie special is that it’s not just another job board. It’s a platform designed to focus on African women in tech who often face barriers in accessing global opportunities,” explains Excellence. “We want to make sure they are seen, heard, and valued.”
The launch of Hire Emmie comes at a crucial time, as the global remote work market is set to expand to $35 billion by 2027, and the IT outsourcing market is expected to reach $535.2 billion by 2025. Techy Train Incubator is positioning itself to help African women seize these opportunities, while also helping businesses worldwide tap into a largely underrepresented talent pool.
With Hire Emmie, Techy Train Incubator continues to build on its mission to close the gender digital divide and promote economic empowerment for African women in the tech sector.
