In today’s digital economy, having the right skills can mean the difference between unemployment and opportunity. Yet across Africa, millions remain underemployed or unemployed due to a lack of access to digital training. Djas Digital Hub, founded in October 2022, is changing that narrative, offering flexible online learning programs that help bridge the digital divide and prepare Africans for the jobs of the future.

“Africa’s talent is unmatched, but the digital skills gap keeps many from realizing their full potential,” says Chiwendu Faith Amah, founder of Djas Digital Hub. “Our goal is to provide the tools and support they need to thrive in the digital world.”
Since its launch, Djas Digital Hub has trained over 4,000 individuals across Africa, focusing on youth, stay-at-home mothers, and the unemployed. The platform offers self-paced and instructor-led courses in data entry, virtual administrative assistance, graphic design, property management, and LinkedIn optimization. With its mobile-friendly platform, Djas Digital Hub ensures that even those with limited internet access or basic devices can participate.

“We designed the platform with Africa’s realities in mind,” says Amah. “It’s not just about offering courses but making sure those courses are accessible to people in rural areas or those with family responsibilities.”

For Samuel Okeke, a graduate from Enugu, the training proved life-changing. “Before Djas Digital Hub, I struggled to find work. I completed the property management course, and now I work remotely with a real estate firm. I finally feel like I have a future,” he says.

Beyond technical skills, Djas Digital Hub focuses on job readiness. They offer certifications, resume development, interview coaching, and access to mentorship programs. Their career support network includes accountability groups, freelance opportunities, and job boards, providing a well-rounded approach to workforce preparation.

“Our goal isn’t just to teach skills, it’s to ensure people can use those skills to earn a living,” Amah explains. “We want to see our learners securing jobs, launching freelance careers, and contributing to Africa’s digital economy.”

As they look ahead to 2025, Djas Digital Hub plans to scale up, training 20,000 Africans and partnering with NGOs, government agencies, and private sector partners to expand access to digital education.

“Our work is about building a future where Africans can compete globally, where talent is nurtured, and where digital literacy becomes a cornerstone of development,” says Amah.

Through accessible, affordable, and relevant digital training, Djas Digital Hub is transforming Africa’s workforce, one learner at a time.
