Tech has no borders. Neither should opportunity.

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

codeHive graduates are entering the job market faster, earning more than their peers, & continuing to increase their income as they move into high-demand fields. The return on investment is especially compelling:
Yr 2: training costs recovered
Yr 5: 4x return
Yr 10: 15x+ return

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

Here is something you should know: the future of work belongs to those who can learn continuously, adapt quickly, & build with technology. As learning increasingly happens through experimentation and real-time adaptation, junior talent may be especially well positioned to succeed

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

We couldn’t agree more.
AI shouldn’t reduce entry-level opportunities, it should expand them. Early-career talent is often the most adaptable, experimental, and ready to evolve with new technologies.

Earlier cohorts (’19–’23) proved technical training can significantly boost employability & income. Recent cohorts (’24–’25) show specialised pathways in #Data & #AIML, combined with global demand, can rapidly compound earning potential within months of graduation.

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

The Class of 2025 continues to outperform every previous cohort. Achieving a 13.4X income growth within just #60days of graduation proves that internship earnings were not temporary gains, but the beginning of lasting upward mobility.

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

codeHive graduates in AI&ML consistently earn 3-5x more than peers in more conventional roles.
Here is the gist, the market doesn’t reward credentials alone, it rewards scarce, high-impact skills.

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

It is still unimaginable how much impact can happen in just 10months. Over the course of the program, we see not only their technical skills grow but also their sense of possibility expand in powerful ways. The transformation is not just professional, it is deeply personal

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

What happens after codeHive graduates enter the workforce? In the first transition, from internship to full-time, we’re seeing income jumps of about 40%. After that, about 20% growth continues as careers progress. The goal's sustained growth once they’re in. #SheLeads #codeHive

Tech knows no borders. Neither should opportunity! This year, we've expanded our footprint to Zambia, Zimbabwe &Eswatini. We're intentional about scouting talent wherever it exists. As our reach grows, so does access to education and opportunity.

As the tech landscape continues to shift, one thing remains clear: the future belongs to those who are ready to lead it. Rose Wanjiku, our alumnae,is doing just that at HeronAI!

Investing in girls' participation in tech is not just a gender issue; it’s an economic and development imperative. Linda Kamau shares why building a strong tech ecosystem is critical for the future of African youth, particularly young women.

The Success of #codeHive program is no accident. It's a strategic result of deliberate shift in preparing young women for a high-performance tech workforce. Evidence is in the acceleration of earnings within 60 days of completion.
2024-$800
2025- $1,250

Last year: curious minds walking into Google, eager to learn.
This year: engineers building and contributing to the tech industry. What a transformation one year in the codeHive program can make.

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

@phelah_phelix Thank you for sharing!

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

What a joy it is to witness the impact of the codeHive program at the end of the year. A powerful reflection of how codeHive is transforming the lives of young women. To put this into perspective, the Class of 25' recorded an average income of $1,250 within 60 days of graduation

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

A celebration that captures the heart of AkiraChix. The codeHive program is designed to build a strong, connected community that lasts well beyond graduation. The strength of our alumni community is a testament to that mission. Captured: Class of 2025 graduation dinner

Alumni Throwdown last year celebrated the 25' cohort officially joining the alumni community, while recognising alumni from earlier cohorts who are stepping into higher-paying roles. The alumni are thriving, the wins keep stacking, & the future ahead is very much fortified.

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

What a moment it was! The class of 25' pitched their projects in front of thought leaders in tech, & they absolutely owned it. Bold ideas, confident voices, & so much potential on display. Grateful to the trainers & @gitlab for the guidance, feedback & making pitch day possible

[AkiraChix @akirachix]

Happy New Year🎉We’re excited for the year ahead. Last year’s bold bets paid off. The Class of 2025 hit a record $650 average internship income before graduation. If early internship earnings are this strong, the ripple effects on long-term impact are impossible to ignore
