We teach our participants that the right introduction changes everything.
🔥Two cohorts ago, one did. Today, we made it official!
Proud to announce our partnership with @HororeBELL and @AfricanWITS , for their women and girls across multi cohorts.
Technical skills get you to the door. Career prep gets you through it.
Together, we are closing the loop! 🐙🌍

L'an dernier certaines personnes m'ont approché qu'elles n'ont pas eu l'info à temps.
Cette année, @AfricanWITS organise un webinaire d'infos sur le programme de mentorat Girl in ICT/STEAM.

"Our future competitiveness depends on AI adoption in our daily businesses." Ursula von der Leyen
While we advise you to learn a tech skill in 2026, we are particularly about helping you integrate AI in whatever skills you want to adopt/adapt.
Tonight on LinkedIn at 7 PM.
As we count down to the 2027 #WomenInFinTech Magazine, we continue celebrating the inspiring voices from the 100 Women in FinTech list.
From Uganda, Atim Maureen represents the next generation of bold innovators passionate about breaking barriers and empowering women to thrive in the FinTech space. Her journey into technology and ambition to become a full-stack developer reflect the power of young women stepping into innovation with confidence.
From Cameroon, @HororeBELL is driving impact through digital entrepreneurship and inclusion. With years of experience working across governments and organizations, she continues to champion technology education and bridge the gender digital gap across African communities.
These stories remind us that FinTech is not just evolving it’s becoming more inclusive, diverse, and driven by purpose.

🔥 Cohort #4 is LIVE with 1,500 fully funded scholarship seats!
We launched C#3 six weeks ago… 1,000 seats filled in 36 hours.
And ever since:
“Did I miss my chance?”
“When is the next one?”
“How can I join?”
Inside C#3 we’re seeing real transformation:
✨ 80% engagement after 6 weeks
✨ 90% would recommend OctoPrep
✨ “My resume finally reflects what I can do.”
✨ “I learned more in 3 modules than months alone.”
✨ “I can finally talk about my projects with impact.”
When early-career talent gets structure + support, everything changes.
🎯 So we’re opening 1,500 new scholarships for our 8-week job-prep program.
Same structure.
Same support.
More impact.
🙏 A huge thank you to the founding community contributors who made this possible: -
- Pegah Ebrahimi at FPV Ventures
- @HororeBELL@AfricanWITS
- @jbarbier, CPO at @alx_africa
- Neila Benzina, CEO at @HolbertonTUN 🇹🇳
- Bruno Leveque, co-founder at @Meowtel🇺🇸

📢TL;DR Are you looking for a job? I just contributed to fund 1,500 full scholarships for https://t.co/BjYHstvzRY. Join for free today and learn everything you need to find a job! Please help me share this to everyone for maximum impact! 🙏
OctoPrep has built one of the most professional and complete programs I’ve ever seen to help people, young or not so young, prepare to find a job. I have contributed for the previous cohort, and today I am doubling down because I’ve seen, firsthand, the impact this program has had on my students all around the world: it actually leads to jobs.
Warning: This program does not hand you a job. Instead, it teaches you all the necessary tools and skills and prepares your mindset to find jobs, indirectly giving you many jobs, for the rest of your life.
Beyond all the BS you hear all the time from marketing campaigns trying to get your $:
1. Finding a job in tech right now is brutally hard.
Between wars, high interest rates, economic uncertainty, and the rise of AI, many companies have slowed down or frozen hiring. Everyone is waiting to “see what happens next.”
2. And yet… most universities and training programs still teach only technical skills.
Important? Yes.
Sufficient? Absolutely not.
Because job searching itself is a skill.
It's a skill you can learn, practice, and master, just like coding or anything else. I’ve watched countless students, from @alx_africa, @holbertonschool, and everywhere else, who clearly have the talent, but no one ever taught them how to tell their story, write a strong resume, prepare for interviews, or navigate the hiring process with strategy and confidence.
That’s exactly why https://t.co/BjYHstvzRY exists.
My wife @Sophie_RB42 and my former ALX student @_MariemEhab built OctoPrep from scratch. I’ve seen the curriculum, tested the flow, followed the learners… and the results have honestly blown me away.
This thing works.
Across previous cohorts, I saw learners transform, not just their resumes, but their confidence and clarity. I saw fresh CS grads from all over the world finally understand how to approach the job market like pros. And I saw many of my own students finally get traction after months of struggling alone.
This is why I’m doing this again.
Until recently, OctoPrep was a paid program.
But Sophie made a bold decision: “If people don’t have a job, they shouldn’t have to pay to learn how to get one.”
So once again, I’m proud and humbled to announce to join an incredible group of people that came together to fund 1,500 full scholarships:
- Pegah Ebrahimi, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of FPV Ventures. Former COO at @Cisco and @Morganstanl. Advisor at @canva 🇺🇸
- @HororeBELL at @AfricanWITS 🇨🇲
- Neila Benzina, CEO at @HolbertonTUN 🇹🇳
- Bruno Leveque, co-founder at @Meowtel 🇫🇷
We’re putting our money where our mouth is. We all say we want to help. Today, we’re doing it. Again.
To all my students, past and present, please don’t take this lightly. Opportunities like this don’t come often, and I cannot promise we’ll be able to fund another round.
This is your moment to take one last step, do hard things, and change your life.
What you’ll get:
- 8 weeks of real work
- Resume, profile, and storytelling mastery
- Strategic application systems
- Mock interviews with AI, live sessions, and accountability
- Confidence, clarity, and momentum
You’ll come out ready for the next chapter.
Register ASAP: https://t.co/BjYHstvzRY
These 1,500 seats will go fast.
Please share this with friends, classmates, and anyone struggling to find a job. Someone out there needs to hear this today.
And if, like me, you believe in creating real impact, if you want to help even more learners join for free, you can contribute here: https://t.co/WGh9ONkkVT
Hats off to the OctoPrep team. Sophie, Mariem: you built something extraordinary. I’m so proud of you.
Let’s do hard things.
Let’s get you the job you deserve.
Happy Christmas everybody.
Sinon : L’expérience ne se mesure pas en années, mais dans la capacité à apprendre et à transmettre.
Chaque “première fois” est une victoire, peu importe l’âge ou le niveau d’expérience qu'on peut avoir.
Transmettre c'est un don...

Pour l’acte I, nous avons réussi le pari de booker plus d’une vingtaine de personnes qui viennent découvrir le 1er circuit parmi tant d’autres que nous auront à présenter dans l’arrondissement de #VisitMakak
Les chutes de Mpumè faudrait il le rappeler étaient choisies à l’époque du défunt président Ahidjo pour abriter le premier barrage ayant la capacité d’alimenter l’Afrique centrale sans arrêt
Le potentiel touristique de cette zone réuni plusieurs pans : le mémoriel, l’eco tourisme et le culturel avec une faune et une flore magique
Quelques partenaires ont choisis de s’associer à cette dynamique en pleine essor pour faire partie de l’aventure.
Sans compter les personnes qui seront présentes lors de cette première descente ouverte au public
Rdv pour la prochaine date 🤗
