AFRALTI continues to champion technology awareness and career guidance by partnering with universities to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the fast-evolving ICT landscape. Through a series of engagements, AFRALTI has been fostering discussions on emerging technologies, career roadmaps, and industry insights, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the digital future.

At Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, AFRALTI led an engaging session on building a career in Artificial Intelligence, exploring the opportunities, transformative impact, and potential threats posed by automation and machine learning. As A.I reshapes job markets and business processes, students were encouraged to develop critical skills in data science, machine learning, and ethical A.I practices to remain competitive. At Riara University, the conversation focused on technology for the future and what it means for students right now. AFRALTI emphasized the importance of staying ahead of technological trends, adopting an innovation mindset, and leveraging digital tools to create solutions that address real-world challenges. Students were encouraged to engage in continuous learning, research, and experimentation to prepare for the evolving digital economy.

During a session with Tharaka University, AFRALTI provided insights into how the ICT industry operates, current job market trends, and the skills in high demand. Understanding the dynamics of employment in the tech sector equips students with the right expectations and strategies for securing meaningful careers. To complement this learning experience, students from Tharaka University had the unique opportunity to visit the Cisco Edge at the University of Nairobi’s Chiromo Campus, where they interacted with cutting-edge Cisco technologies. This hands-on exposure to advanced networking, cybersecurity, and cloud computing solutions helped bridge the gap between academia and real-world applications, reinforcing AFRALTI’s mission to nurture industry-ready graduates.

By collaborating with universities, AFRALTI is bridging the knowledge gap and ensuring students are well-equipped to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the digital revolution. These engagements provide career clarity, exposure to industry trends, and practical insights that empower students to take charge of their professional journeys. AFRALTI remains committed to inspiring the next generation of tech leaders by fostering digital literacy, innovation, and career preparedness. As technology continues to evolve, such initiatives will be instrumental in shaping a future-ready workforce that can drive Africa’s digital transformation.
