Airtel Networks Zambia empowers young girls in ICT bootcamp

Airtel Networks Zambia has taken a step towards bridging the gender gap in the ICT sector by partnering with Infratel to host an ICT bootcamp for 50 girls from various schools in Lusaka. The bootcamp, led by senior Airtel staff, aimed to inspire and empower young girls to pursue careers in telecommunications and ICT.

This initiative demonstrates Airtel's commitment to impacting young minds and developing budding talents in the ICT sector. By providing a platform for girls to learn and grow, Airtel is helping to address the gender imbalance that exists in the industry.

During the bootcamp, the girls had the opportunity to engage with experienced professionals in the field, gaining valuable insights and skills in ICT. The interactive sessions and hands-on activities were designed to spark their interest and passion for technology, encouraging them to consider careers in this exciting and rapidly evolving sector.

According to officials, by investing in their future, Airtel is helping to create a more inclusive and diverse ICT industry, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. As the ICT sector continues to grow and shape our world, it is essential that we inspire and empower young girls to be part of it.
