AFRALTI has been hosting a series of career talks throughout the quarter under the theme: “To provide a clear bridge between your academic foundation and the dynamic landscape of the ICT industry.”

The sessions brought together students, young professionals, and industry leaders to explore how academic learning can be translated into meaningful careers in ICT. Participants gained insights into opportunities across cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, IoT, cloud computing, and digital transformation areas where demand for skilled talent in Africa continues to grow.

Speakers underscored the importance of adaptability, lifelong learning, and professional development in navigating a fast-changing industry. The value of mentorship, professional certifications, and practical training was also emphasized as essential for building sustainable ICT careers.

By convening these talks, AFRALTI reaffirmed its role as both a regional ICT training and research hub and a career catalyst, inspiring the next generation of digital leaders to bridge the gap between academia and industry with confidence.
