@_MariemEhab and I are opening Cohort 6 today. Before we do, here is what Cohort 5 has been telling us:

✨ "𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳."

When early-career talent gets structure and support, things change.

For C#6 we are opening 500 scholarship seats. Fully funded. The same 8-week program behind that feedback.

When early-career talent gets structure and support, things change.

Let's bridge this gap together!

Seven seconds.

It's what recruiters spend on your LinkedIn profile before deciding to keep reading.

Recruiters scan fast. They want to know in seconds whether you could fit a role they're filling.

@PLPAfrica @plpcommunity Proud of what we are building together @PLPAfrica!

[Power Learn Project @PLPAfrica]

A powerful partnership between PLP & @OctoPrepAI is here.

Across @plpcommunity, one question pops up: “I’ve gained the skills, now what?”

Following strong applications, we’re bridging the gap from training to employment.

Orientation kicks off today! More opportunities coming.

[OctoPrep @OctoPrepAI]

Talent shouldn't stop at training.

Proud to announce our partnership with @PowerLearnProject - 15,000+ developers trained across Africa, on a mission to reach 1 million.

Getting to 1 million matters. What happens after matters just as much.

From 1 million trained to 1 million hired. 🐙🌍

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! 🐙🌍

Should you have a plan B?

Answer: there is no plan B because it distracts you from plan A

Staying focused on your goals can be tough. Self-doubt, unexpected challenges, and things beyond your control can make you question what you are doing and why. Your mind starts playing the “what if” game:
➡️What if it doesn’t work?
➡️ What if I’m not good enough?
➡️ What if external events have a bad impact on my progress?

Here’s the truth: the more you focus on plan B, the less energy you give to plan A.

Congratulations Cohort 4! 🎉
~1,500 participants. 40+ countries. Eight weeks of showing up.

Every time we close a cohort, the same thing hits:
The hardest part of a job search is learning to believe you are worth the room.

And c#4 came in ready. Intentional. Self-directed 💪

↳ 483 LinkedIn & GitHub profile reports generated
↳ 1,452 AI mock interview feedback sessions completed
↳ 89% could clearly define their career story by week 1
↳ 82% felt ready to interview by week 6
↳ Average NPS of 76 across 8 modules

In a tough market, showing up every week takes real commitment. These numbers prove they did.

So proud of every single one of them! 🐙

Before I tell you what's new, let me tell you what happened with our OctoPreppers.

✨ Eze was able to secure a role as Technical Product Manager at an AI startup.
✨ @0x01_Muawia signed as Full Stack Software Engineer role.
✨ Mahmud secured his seed round. He's building.
✨ @a_yassin01 joined the core team of an EduTech company.
✨ @AwamChimere landed his SE internship. 2 weeks into the program with c#4.

5 people. Different countries. Different career paths.

All hired 🚀
And so many more Octopreppers landing interviews, passing first screenings, and getting callbacks.

That's what 8 weeks of structure and support does.

For C#5, we're opening 500 scholarship seats. Fully funded. Same 8-week program that got these results.

Why 500? You'll understand in the coming weeks.

If you're a student, a recent graduate, an early-career professional, or transitioning into tech and you've been sending applications into the void, this is for you.

And if you know someone stuck in the job search, the best thing you can do is share this with them.

✨ And this is only possible because of people who believe the next generation has so much to offer, we just need to give them the space and time to prepare. So thank you to the founding community contributors for making this real:

[Mahmud Madobi @madobi_mahmud]

Mahmud here the one mentioned above.
OctoPrep did not just give resources. It gave structure, accountability, and a serious community that pushes you to execute every week. That environment played a real role in the momentum that led to my seed round.
If you are trying to break into tech and your applications keep disappearing into silence, this program is worth your attention.
Five hundred fully funded seats is not common. Do not miss it.
