<b>Talk Description</b><br>

The tech ecosystem in Africa is fast-growing, leading to an increasing talent hunt in Africa by various tech organizations, but yet, we still have a low employment rate among developers.
960
+
961
+
This is because a large percentage of the developers are not ready for the market.
962
+
963

Africa is showing up more on the map ever than before, but we still have the ratio of beginners to experts at about 9-1. More folks are coming into software development in Africa ever than before, but a lot of them come in the wrong way, many do not have the strong foundation knowledge before trying to be language agnostic. Others are stuck as beginners due to lack of resources; which includes but not limited to good Laptops, Internet access, Mentors and in some cases; Electricity.

A very large percentage of developers in the beginner's stage has been there for over 6months, Picking up different languages with the aim to find a focus.
