Our Origin Story
Written by Marvelous Akporowho (Founder)
Collective & Open Source Intelligence is gained from good collaboration, especially within a community of builders, creators, and believers. In 2019, I started Welearnt with one idea "a bootcamp to teach technology and make others better than their current self for free".
In 2020 I met Nwamaka Nwosu & Emmanuella Orioma (My co-founders) who are education specialists in their respective fields of study. Our goal is to make this a platform that can operate as a global network of talents & learners at scale with the mission of embarking on what will be the future of focused micro-learning digital education targeting African communities.
We are creating an end-to-end learning network for the future of work. This means our cohort & platform graduates are work ready either as interns, entry level or mid-level engineers, designers, or project managers.
We are providing free high quality mentoring & concise microlearning courses from community contributors.
Via our cohort program, we are promoting lifelong micro-learning among African youths & our team remains committed to providing these digital training sessions using diverse channels & methods at no cost to the learner.
Our commitments are as follows:
- Continued creation of relevant micro-learning courses.
- Our students learn by re-engineering from the outcome & experience of professional mentors.
- Project-based learning.
- Mentoring & coaching must be carried out by senior & seasoned professionals
- Create live workshop sessions to help reinforce their learning
- We will build platforms & forums to avoid jumping from one training to another without getting viable results.
We are also enhancing our learning forum activities by creating:
- Group/Team based Learning
- Book Clubs
- Games
- Weekly Events
Sure we have big dreams, but this idea can only be actualised with the help & support of the community. Therefore, we are inviting you to join us and make this dream a reality.
We are powered by intellect and driven by value. So are you.
I officially welcome you to join us at the top. Join us.
