The Hacklab Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on preparing the youth for future jobs. We achieve this through bootcamps, hackathons, mentorship and coaching, internships and job placement.
Since our inception in 2015, we have directly impacted over 10,000 people, organised 8 hackathons, 2 robotics and coding bootcamps for kids between the ages of 7yrs - 13yrs, supported 450+ women in tech, 223 youth were placed in jobs and 128+ youth were placed internships. Through our partnership with IBM, we launched the National Digital Skills Training Program in November 2018, with a goal to reach a 100,000 people by 2021
We believe that creating an equal platform for everyone, irrespective of race, gender, social class, and physical limitations will allow for a fair chance to compete for the same opportunity. This has been the core of our initiatives.
The Foundation is known for its Annual Hackathon/ Technology Conference which brings together developers, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders in Technology to meet and discuss issues arising, identify opportunities and the way forward in making Ghana a better place using technology. With over 800+ people under one umbrella, they compete and develop industry standard solutions to address local problems in 36 hours
