In an era defined by rapid technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence, GOMYCODE Kenya has announced a significant new initiative: ‘GOMYCODE for Business’.
This pioneering corporate upskilling program is set to empower Kenyan companies, equipping their workforces with the essential digital skills needed to thrive in the evolving global economy.
The launch, coinciding with GOMYCODE’s second-anniversary celebrations in Nairobi, signals a strategic pivot, extending its impact from individual student training to comprehensive organizational development.
Kenya’s economy is on a fast track towards digital transformation, yet a critical hurdle remains: a widespread digital skills gap.
While businesses recognize the imperative to innovate, many struggle to find or develop talent proficient in the digital competencies required to drive this change. According to the World Bank’s Kenya Digital Economy Report 2024, a staggering 70% of Kenyan companies cite a shortage of digital skills as a major impediment to adopting modern technologies.
GOMYCODE Kenya, a prominent tech education company, has spent the last two years successfully fostering a new generation of digital professionals. Now, with ‘GOMYCODE for Business’, it aims to directly address the systemic challenge faced by enterprises. This program is designed to help companies confidently navigate the complexities of digital transformation.
“The skills gap is no longer a niche problem; it’s a fundamental challenge to business survival,” stated Mellany Msengezi, Country Director at GOMYCODE Kenya. “Having dedicated two years to building tech talent from the ground up, we are now proactively engaging with businesses to prepare them for the next wave of digital disruption.”
Moving beyond conventional training paradigms, ‘GOMYCODE for Business’ offers a modular, outcomes-driven approach. It prioritizes practical, hands-on learning in high-demand areas such as AI literacy, data analytics, cloud computing, and advanced software tools.
The program boasts flexible formats suitable for in-office, remote, or hybrid teams, ensuring that newly acquired skills are directly applicable to real-world business challenges. Early adopters across various sectors, including finance, logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare, are already piloting the program across the African continent.
“There’s a clear demand for structured, tech-first training that genuinely adapts to business needs,” added Yahya Bouhlel, CEO and Founder of GOMYCODE.
With its vibrant youth population and burgeoning tech ecosystem, Kenya stands as a beacon of innovation in Africa. However, experts caution that without strategic investment in workforce digital readiness, the nation risks losing its competitive edge.
GOMYCODE is committed to addressing this urgent need, positioning itself not merely as an educator, but as a crucial partner in shaping Kenya’s digital future by seamlessly integrating learning with business performance. The message is unequivocal: to remain competitive, Kenyan businesses must embrace the AI era now.
