NVIDIA And Pariti Partner To Train 2,000 African Developers In AI

Pariti, a platform dedicated to creating economic opportunities through entrepreneurship, has partnered with NVIDIA. 

This collaboration aims to train over 2,000 developers across the African continent in deep learning through the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI). 

Training Over 2,000 Developers in Africa

Pariti’s educational series, in partnership with NVIDIA, will leverage the NVIDIA DLI to provide intensive artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) training to over 2,000 developers. 

These sessions will cover NVIDIA’s AI/ML stack and culminate in free certification for participants. 

The initiative primarily targets university students from Kenya, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. 

NVIDIA and DLI University Ambassadors will conduct training sessions, ensuring that students receive instruction from industry experts.

This initiative is set up to significantly impact the African tech ecosystem, equipping developers with the skills to thrive in current and future tech landscapes. 

Expanding Opportunities for Professionals

Beyond targeting university students, Pariti’s collaboration with NVIDIA also includes opportunities for professionals within the Pariti network. 

These individuals can participate in DLI workshops and master classes, enhancing their expertise and enabling them to train future cohorts. 

Pariti plans to run quarterly training sessions with DLI, creating a continuous pipeline of certified developers.

“Africa’s greatest resource is our human capital,” said Yacob Berhane, co-founder of Pariti, in a press release.

“This initiative with NVIDIA will create opportunities for Africans here and abroad and further our mission in creating a more prosperous Africa.”
