As part of activities marking the 2024 International Women’s Day (IWD) digital financial services provider for emerging markets, Moniepoint Inc, has announced the launch of this year’s edition of the Women-In-Tech initiative.
This is in line with this year’s IWD campaign theme ‘InspireInclusion’, which calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes and create an environment where women are valued and respected.
Moniepoint said that given that previous editions had five women in each cohort, this year the six-month internship programme, which is aimed at ensuring that young women have access to building a career in technology will see 10 women take on roles in various teams that include Cloud Engineering, Backend Engineering, Technical Product Management, Data Engineering, Systems Administration, Technical Support and User Experience.
Christened the Dream 10, the company said these women would be provided with direct mentorship during the internship. Other perks include salaries, work tools, merch and the opportunity to work on live projects during the internship and an offer of full-time employment depending on assessment post-internship.
Speaking on this year’s edition, Head, People Operations at Moniepoint, Chinaza Nduka-Dike, noted that with this initiative the organisation is going over and beyond inspiring inclusion to demonstrating a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of women.
