Moniepoint Rolls Out DreamDevs Cohort 2 to Boost Nigeria's Tech Talent Pipeline

Moniepoint rolls out DreamDevs Cohort 2 to boost Nigeria’s tech talent pipeline in a big way. Moniepoint Inc, one of Africa’s leading digital financial services providers, has just opened applications for the second group of its top program called DreamDevs. This move comes as the company works hard to close the gap in tech skills across Africa. They want to give recent graduates the tools and real-life experience they need to shine in the tech world.

DreamDevs Cohort 2 is open to fresh graduates all over Nigeria. Moniepoint calls it a national talent search to find the next wave of top engineers. Only 20 lucky candidates will make the cut each year. These chosen few will dive into a tough nine-week bootcamp. There, they get hands-on training from some of the best software engineers in the business. The goal is simple: turn them into pros ready for real jobs.

The first group of DreamDevs showed just how well this works. From that cohort, Moniepoint hired four people, three as interns and one straight into a full-time engineer role. This success proves DreamDevs Cohort 2 can keep building a strong tech talent pipeline for Nigeria. The program looks for graduates in tech, computer science, engineering, or similar fields. You need basic skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to qualify. It’s all about spotting those with real potential.

Once selected, participants jump into the bootcamp right away. They learn by doing, tackling real projects that mimic daily work at a fast-growing company like Moniepoint. The top performers don’t stop there. They earn six-month internships at Moniepoint. Do well during that time, and you could land a full-time job. Moniepoint rolls out DreamDevs Cohort 2 with even bigger goals this time. They aim to turn half of the participants into full-time staff.

Felix Ike, the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Moniepoint Inc, is excited about it all. He said the first cohort’s results proved their idea right. “With the right training and support, Africa’s young tech talent can compete anywhere in the world,” Ike explained. For DreamDevs Cohort 2 to boost Nigeria’s tech talent pipeline even more, they’re pushing harder. Ike added that this program creates lasting career paths. It helps drive Africa’s digital economy forward by giving young people real chances.

This fits perfectly with what Moniepoint stands for. The company uses tech to help millions chase their dreams and find financial joy across Africa. DreamDevs is part of a bigger set of training efforts. For example, there’s HatchDev, which teams up with NITHub Unilag. Together, they train 500 developers each year in software engineering, smart systems, and IoT or embedded tech. Then there’s the Women-in-Tech program, now in its fifth year and super popular. These all show Moniepoint’s commitment to growing homegrown talent.

DreamDevs Cohort 2 also lines up with big national plans. It backs the Federal Government’s 3 Million Technical Talent program, or 3MTT. Moniepoint is a key sponsor there. While 3MTT trains huge numbers in basic skills across Nigeria, DreamDevs takes it further. It guides graduates from basics all the way to jobs. This creates a full system for building tech skills. Ike pointed out how proud they are to support the government’s goal of three million talents. At the same time, DreamDevs meets the urgent need for skilled workers right now.

By putting money into young people, Moniepoint offers practical experience, startup help, and chances to build products. This leads to good jobs and steady growth for Africa’s economy. Victor Adepoju, from the first cohort, now works as a Backend Engineer at Moniepoint. He loved the program. “The setup was excellent,” he said. “It covered tons of topics and gave me a strong base to grow from. I picked up a lot on cloud tech, especially Google Cloud Platform. Plus, it taught key soft skills like planning, staying organized, and prioritizing tasks. Those help me every day on the job.”

Selection for DreamDevs Cohort 2 focuses on a few key things. Judges look at your technical skills, how fast you can learn, and if you match Moniepoint’s values of innovation and excellence. If you’re a recent graduate who fits the bill, don’t wait. Applications are open now, but the deadline is January 20th. Head to the official site at dreamdevs.moniepoint.com to apply. Moniepoint’s talent search across Nigeria is your chance to join this game-changing program.

As Nigeria pushes to become a tech powerhouse, efforts like DreamDevs Cohort 2 make a real difference. They spot hidden talent, train it up, and plug it right into jobs that matter. With companies like Moniepoint leading the charge, the future looks bright for Africa’s tech scene. More graduates will get the skills to build apps, secure systems, and innovate in fintech. This isn’t just training, it’s a launchpad for careers that can change lives and economies.

Moniepoint rolls out DreamDevs Cohort 2 at a perfect time. Nigeria’s tech world is booming, but it still needs more ready-to-go engineers. Programs like this fill that hole by mixing tough training with real opportunities. Graduates leave not just knowing code, but understanding how to work in a team, solve problems under pressure, and contribute to big goals. The first cohort’s hires show it’s working already. Expect even more success stories from this second round.

This initiative is about more than jobs. It’s building a stronger Africa, one skilled engineer at a time. If you’re a graduate with passion for tech, this could be your break. Apply soon and step into a world where your skills can power real change.
