TD Africa has launched the TecHERdemy programme, aimed at equipping 400 young Nigerian women with essential digital skills to thrive in the technology sector.
The initiative, according to a statement on Monday, was unveiled in Lagos in partnership with global tech firms Huawei, Microsoft, and Cisco.
The programme offers participants the opportunity to undertake a six-month training in areas including cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence, and software development.
The courses, which will be delivered by industry experts, are designed to provide hands-on, practical learning aligned with international standards.
The company said successful graduates of TecHERdemy will receive certificates and job placement validating their new skills and expanding their career prospects in the fast-growing tech sector.

I encourage you to seize this opportunity, as it is a chance to bring positive change, not only in your lives but also to empower others in your communities and beyond,” Ekeh remarked.
As the co-sponsor of the program, Huawei was represented by the Channel Director, Gary Li, who expressed Huawei’s commitment to partnering with TD Africa to make this initiative a success.
