The African Diaspora Development Institute (ADDI) through its Youth Empowerment Program has partnered
with Eretmis Cybersecurity Academy to help train the African Youth to become a continental cybersecurity workforce for Africa.
Eretmis Academy is a premier Cybersecurity Academy that is dedicated to closing the talent gap in the cybersecurity industry. The company agreed to a discounted rate for the sponsorship program by ADDI.
Through this special arrangement between ADDI and Eretmis Academy, eight young men and women have been enrolled and will complete the special four to five-month course.
In a brief interview with DNT, ADDI Founder Ambassador Arikana Chihombori-Quao stressed the need for all to help the youth in Africa to venture into the cyber security industry to close the existing tech gap.
“ADDI invites you to be part of the effort to build Africa’s skilled cybersecurity workforce by financially
sponsoring one or more African Youth to be enrolled in a three-month program at the Eretmis Cybersecurity
Academy,” Chihombori-Quao said.
The African Diaspora Development Institute was born out of the desire to bring Africa to the world and the world to Africa. There currently is no one resource to easily find information about Africa. ADDI aims to become that resource.
ADDI realizes that the current status of the African economy is due to the mass exodus of the African Diaspora out of Africa. This exodus began with the loss of Africa’s children through slavery 400 years ago, followed by the recent Migrants who left Africa in search of greener pastures or running away from famine and wars.
Here are the eight students from five African countries:
