The impact of the event
As a company dedicated to upskilling and empowering tech talents in Nigeria, showcasing their journey during the event will inspire others and attract more enthusiasts to join the mission team.
The event works with the impact of the 72-hour rule, which states that the likelihood that you will apply a new idea and learn fast decreases to zero if you do not make the initial move toward applying it within the first 72 hours.
LearnlyApp aims to maximise impact by engaging enthusiasts over the course of 72 hours.
The event is another avenue to showcase Nigerian tech talents and foster global recognition.
About LearnlyApp
Under the direction of its founder and CEO, Ibiyemi Pedro, LearnlyApp is building a community for education and job placement for talented young Africans to address the lack of access to quality education and skills on the continent. This initiative not only improves the lives of individuals but also advances the continent’s economy.
In addition to offering long-term personalised learning support for talents within organisations to keep talents relevant, LearnlyApp (https://learnlyapp.io/) gamifies learning to improve learning outcomes for African youths.
Being mobile-first also helps to penetrate a larger market, as smartphone adoption is rapidly increasing on the continent. For users of iOS and Android, the mobile app filled with tasks, tests, and a wealth of educational materials is accessible in the app stores.
LearnlyApp Edtech launched its MVP mobile app in September 2022 and attracted 150 users. It then hosted its first user boot camp in January 2023, which helped the platform’s user base balloon to 600 by March 2023.
On July 22, 2023, LearnlyApp held its official launch in Lagos, Nigeria, complete with a bootcamp. The platform also supplied talent to several partners, such as Ideation Hub Africa, which has over 25,000 change makers, TechBeaver, Technify incubator, and other partners seeking skilled talent.
As of the end of July 2023, the EdTech had over 1250 users across its learning communities, and the app placed 35 people in organisations and generated a substantial amount of revenue. With over 40 million users, they will begin in Nigeria and aim to grow to other nations. This is crucial for a continent where over 450 million young people make up the workforce of the present and the future.
This event is another opportunity to improve tech education and promote the upskilling of talents through the exposure the event is bound to attract.
