GAIA is proud to introduce one of its most transformative initiatives, the launch of the IT Academy in Ghana in 2025. This academy is a response to Africa’s urgent need for digital empowerment. It is designed to nurture the next generation of tech-savvy leaders, targeting young individuals and professionals between the ages of 14 and 35, whether students, aspiring entrepreneurs, or simply driven individuals seeking opportunities in the digital world. The objective of this initiative is to establish outsourcing, offshoring and Artificial Intelligence solution (AIS) facilities that cater to the IT needs of Western companies, while simultaneously developing and positioning Ghana as a competitive IT outsourcing destination in the global landscape. The initiative aims not only to create outsourcing and AIS opportunities consequently and rise in employment, but also to offer Western companies an attractive proposition for their outsourcing and AI strategies. Participation in this initiative may deliver significant benefits, including long-term positive impacts on their profit and loss performance among others. This proposition is unique in its kind, as no other market players have yet identified the gap between strategic objectives, the scarcity of resources and the enormous opportunities that lies in this region and field, nor formulated a targeted solution in the way GAIA has articulated its business in this field.

Participation in such a distinctive and impactful initiative allows companies and individuals involved to position themselves as pioneers in technological innovation and sustainable entrepreneurship, thereby strengthening their competitive edge. Furthermore, the success of this initiative has the potential to pave way for future collaborations between (new) partners and GAIA, as well as with other innovative and socially impactful initiatives, thereby expanding strategic growth opportunities.

The IT Academy will serve as a hub for learning, mentorship and hands-on training in software development and technology entrepreneurship. Operated under GAIA’s Research, Development and Learning (RD&L) division, the academy aims to equip participants with in-demand skills that will enable them to compete and thrive in both national and international markets. From boot camps and coding workshops to fintech innovation and access to refurbished laptops, the academy offers a practical and holistic learning environment designed to close the digital gap and create a pipeline of empowered youth ready to lead Africa’s digital future.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in real-world projects, such as developing mobile money platforms, digital crowdfunding tools, and business apps designed for African markets. In collaboration with various companies and organisations such as Design & Technology Institute (DTI), IOT Hub, SeevCash, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs (Digital for Development (D4D), the Better Dream Foundation (BDF), University of Ghana, Decisio, Makelab, NubianVR and Impact Hub Accra/Dawa, the Global Hub seeks to render knowledge-sharing spaces and initiatives that foster scalable digital solutions and facilitates continuous cross-border learning and growth for the tech leaders of the future!

One of the program’s unique features is its circular support model which implies beneficiaries of the academy will be encouraged to mentor new participants, ensuring a continuous cycle of growth and impact.

The decision to launch in Ghana stems from an understanding of the challenges faced by African countries in today’s tech-driven world. Despite being one of the continent’s most progressive nations, Ghana still sees less than 15% of its population owning a computer which is a huge contrast to western countries like the Netherlands where computer ownership exceeds 90%. This shows a limited access to digital resources, education, and infrastructure. The IT Academy was born out of the need to directly address these challenges and empower African youth to not only adapt to but lead within the digital age.

Enrollment is officially open for our upcoming IT Academy, with classes set to begin on 1st December 2025 at Tender Care International School, located at 22 Abidjan Avenue, Accra, Ghana. As part of our mission to make quality tech education accessible, we’ll be launching an exciting IT Course Campaign across campuses throughout November and December, introducing students to the future of digital innovation. Interested participants can reach us via WhatsApp or phone at +233 20 852 0707 (Ghana) or +31 6 5060 6250 (International) for inquiries and registration. Join us as we shape the next generation of tech leaders.

GAIA also extends an open invitation to development partners, NGOs, tech companies, and governments to join in making the IT Academy a lasting success. With the right support, this model can be replicated across the continent, serving as a beacon of innovation, equality, and possibility.
