Moringa School and the Association of Fintechs in Kenya (AFIK) have collaborated to impact the Kenyan workforce with the skills necessary to thrive in the growing FinTech sector.
In their MoU signed, the two have set out to partner in several key areas.
One will be the establishment of a joint advisory team with representatives from both sides. Secondly, they will work together to provide industry-aligned FinTech training programs to all interested stakeholders, including fintech professionals, professionals supporting fintech, entrepreneurs, and students.
The course will be flexible, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills and culminating in a capstone project. Students will also have the opportunity to learn from industry experts through workshops, both online and in person.
AFIK is known to drive innovation and development in the financial technology sector. Their organization serves as the collective voice of fintech companies in Kenya, fostering collaboration, promoting best practices, and advocating for a conducive regulatory environment.
Moringa School is a multi-disciplinary learning accelerator committed to closing the skills gap in Africa’s job markets. It does this by delivering transformative tech-based learning to high-potential job seekers, and on graduation connecting them to local and international employers who desire high-quality tech talent.
Moringa School and AFIK efforts will also involve raising awareness of the importance of FinTech skills development across Kenya. Further, Moringa School will work with AFIK members to establish a pipeline of skilled FinTech graduates to address industry talent needs. This may include internship opportunities.
“We are excited to partner with AFIK to equip Kenyans with the necessary skills to participate and lead in the dynamic FinTech industry,” said Nikki Germany, CEO of Moringa School. “This MOU signifies our commitment to working together to bridge the skills gap and foster innovation within the Kenyan FinTech ecosystem.”
