In commemorat­ion of this year's Internatio­nal Women's Day (IWD), themed, ‘Inspire Inclusion,” Moniepoint has opened the applicatio­n process into the 4th edition of its ‘Women in Tech' Programme

A statement from the company said the internship program is open to women across Africa who are interested in starting a career in technology.

“As the world marks the 2024 Internatio­nal Women's Day, IWD and against the backdrop of the successful execution of its three previous editions, leading digital financial services provider for emerging markets and the secondfast­est growing company in Africa, Moniepoint Inc. has announced the launch of this year's edition of the Women-In-Tech initiative.

“This year's IWD campaign theme of #InspireInc­lusion calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotype­s, and create environmen­ts where all women are valued and respected, “it added.

Speaking on this year's edition, Heathed, of People Operations at Moniepoint Inc., Chinaza Nduka-Dike, noted that with this initiative the organizati­on is going over and beyond inspiring inclusion to demonstrat­e a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of women.

“Increasing­ly we are seeing that diversity; and inclusion can ignite innovation and growth. Intentiona­l outreaches such as our Women in Tech have helped to increase female representa­tion and have had a transforma­tive power to create meaningful inclusion while ensuring that we can keep pace with the talent developmen­t in a global economy,” she said.

Also speaking, a frontend engineer and member of the pioneer cohort of the Moniepoint Women in Tech, Tefe Oladejo, expressed her delight at the increased number of internship roles available for the 2024 programme.
