#ProgramSpotlight: TechCorps

TechCorps is an initiative of citizen commons that provides a unique opportunity for fresh graduates interested in launching a career in technology to access cutting-edge training and gain work experience while completing their national service.

It is a paid program where recruited fellows leverage their primary assignment to acquire specialised tech skills, and use technology as a tool to solve Nigeria’s development challenges while gaining practical experience to launch a successful tech experience post-national service.
