Tech Innovators graduate at Moringa School

By Isaac OGANGA

This achievement marks a powerful shift in how today’s youth approach their careers. The era has passed when young people relied solely on their parents to shape their professional journeys.

Armed with abundant resources, cutting-edge technology, and limitless global opportunities, they are now empowered to make bold, informed decisions and take full ownership of their futures.

Moringa School’s CEO, Nikki Germany, addressed the graduates, emphasizing the significance of the ceremony as a turning point for both the students and the institution.

“This year’s graduation ceremony symbolizes a pivotal step forward in our commitment to providing pathways to success paths that lead to innovation, leadership, and impactful careers in technology,” she said.

“To our graduates: you are the creators, the problem-solvers, and the visionaries of tomorrow’s tech landscape. As you take this next step, remember that you are equipped to build, lead, and conquer any challenge that comes your way,” the CEO added.

Despite the growing number of job opportunities, the road to meaningful employment remains challenging. Many young people still grapple with the harsh realities of unemployment and underemployment.

A significant skills gap between what employers need and what the workforce offers leaves many job seekers at a disadvantage. However, as the job market evolves, new opportunities are emerging, particularly in fast-growing sectors like technology, offering hope for those ready to adapt and seize them.

The rise of digital technology has sparked a wave of interest in tech-related careers. Fields such as Software Engineering, Data Science, Cybersecurity, DevOps, and Product Design are now among the most in-demand skills worldwide.

Young people are flocking to these courses, not only to stay relevant but to secure future-proof careers that place them at the forefront of digital transformation and innovation.

Moringa School plays a central role in this transformation, committed to equipping students with the skills required for success in the tech industry.

During the graduation ceremony, experts emphasized the importance of embracing science and technology education fields historically seen as male-dominated or overly challenging.

Moringa School has actively worked to change these perceptions, inspiring women and individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue these globally relevant, in-demand skills.

This initiative is helping to foster a more inclusive, adaptable workforce, primed to meet the demands and challenges of the digital age.

Riyaz Bachani, CEO of Angani and the chief guest, shared his vision for Africa’s tech future, highlighting the growing need for young tech professionals across the continent.

“I am honored to be part of this occasion, which continues to strengthen our partnership with Moringa School. At Angani, we are keen to collaborate with institutions like Moringa that ensure their students are prepared for the job market as technology professionals who will contribute to Africa’s growing tech talent pool,” he stated.

Looking ahead, the long holiday season provides an opportunity for reflection and planning. Experts encourage young people, parents, and educators to use this time wisely to consider the career paths that will shape the future.

As 2025 approaches, making informed career choices is critical for preparing young people to succeed in a competitive and ever-evolving job market.

The Moringa School graduation ceremony was not only an academic achievement but also a celebration of how young people are taking control of their futures. By choosing to pursue careers in technology, these graduates are not merely securing jobs they are positioning themselves as the leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers of tomorrow.

Moringa School continues to play a crucial role in this transformation, providing students with the skills, knowledge, and networks they need to thrive in the global tech industry.
