How do you get to pull off what's grown in three (3) short years to become arguably the biggest tech career development series on the #African🌍continent?🤔 Well...for us at #TheSwitch💡, it started some four (4) years back, in deliberately choosing to see the 'glass' as half-full 🍷...and ultimately turning perceived crises accelerated by the COVID pandemic into opportunities, through concerted efforts to take the lead in futureproofing the tech talent base of Africa from a myriad of internal and external shocks... The words of Mitchell Elegbe, our Founder & Group CEO, who also delivered an incisive keynote at this year's event resonate strongly, capturing our vision and drive succinctly... “𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚, 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 “𝙗𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙨” 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.
