Since June 2024 · 162 young people trained
Welcome to Let’s Talk Tech, where we are building the next generation of
Tech
Leaders.
Young people from across Cameroon’s Northwest Region come to us curious. They leave designing brands, coding websites and earning from what they build. Many come back to teach the next group.

Who we are
A tech initiative from Bamenda,
run by its own graduates.
Let’s Talk Tech teaches young people the digital skills that clients and employers pay for: design, video, code, data, cybersecurity and AI. Selection is blind and the training is hands-on. Every trainee does an internship, and graduates leave with a certificate co-signed by the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training.
"The program expanded my understanding of digital opportunities and strengthened my passion for technology. It also boosted my confidence."
Laah Happiness Jinkoh, trainee
03 · What we stand for
Every young person,
with a skill that pays.
These are the lines we come back to when we plan a cohort, choose trainees or say yes to a partner.
Our mission
We empower young minds with practical tech skills to solve community problems and achieve financial independence.
Our vision
A world where every young person acquires practical tech skills.
Our values
We include everyone, irrespective of religion, sex or background.
Every trainee builds real, hands-on projects
Every trainee gets personal support from a facilitator
04 · What we teach
Ten tracks. One rule:
learn it by building it.
Trainees work on real projects from the first day. By the end they have work to show a client, and many of the people teaching them are our own alumni.

05 · How it works
From applicant to trainer,
in five steps.
We never see a name when we choose. Applications are coded and ranked on motivation and potential, and every division of the Northwest gets a fair share of places.
01
Blind selection
Names, genders and backgrounds stay hidden. Motivation and potential decide who gets in.
02
Hands-on bootcamp
About a month of project work, with a facilitator close by when you get stuck.
03
Real internship
Trainees join NGOs, partner organisations and local businesses and work on live projects.
04
MINEFOP certification
Graduation day. Certificates are co-signed by the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training.
05
Back as a trainer
Mentorship and startup support carry on after graduation. Our strongest graduates return to teach.
06 · Life at Let’s Talk Tech
Learning that looks like
joy.
Long training days, late builds, graduation photos and friendships that last long after the cohort ends.
