Achievers in Technology Program

Sankofatech’s Achievers in Technology (AIT) is a rigorous four-year scholarship and mentorship program that aims to produce the next generation of African technology professionals in the United States. Sankofatech believes technology is not the preferred career path for youth of African descent due to lack of knowledge about the industry, community misconception, and lack of access to resources. Sankofatech aims to tackle these problems through the AIT program. AIT scholars go through a rigorous four-year program that equips them with essential skills and access to a network of like-minded peers, mentors, advisors, and accomplished professionals in the tech industry.

AIT scholars will receive numerous benefits by participating in the program, some of these benefits include an annual scholarship award, personalized career mentor from top tech companies, job readiness training, access to a network of diverse tech professionals, site visits to tech companies, virtual webinars related to career and personal development and the opportunity to work on a project that benefits their community.
