A financial technology company, TeamApt, has offered five young female engineers the opportunity to work as interns in its Women in Tech internship programme.

They are Tefe Mebuiefene (Frontend Engineer), Marvellous Frank-Solomon (Backend Engineer), Binta Umar (Backend Engineer), Omenebele Ananenu (Backend Engineer) and Barakat Ajadi (Technical Support Engineer).

They will enjoy mentorship throughout the internship period, based on their performance and available openings, they may be offered full employment within TeamApt, Head, People Operations at TeamApt, Chinaza Nduka-Dike said in a statement on Sunday.

“The dearth of women in tech has nothing to do with a lack of competence but with the stereotype that has come to be associated with technology. Creating awareness of women in tech and providing them with all the tools required to excel is key to reversing this trend’’, Nduka-Dike said.

She said TeamApt’s Women in Tech Internship is designed to foster opportunities for women in tech in Nigeria; providing a path for women to harness their skills and garner quality experience from experts in the industry that will help advance their careers.

The six-month paid internship was launched on March 8, 2021, a day marked as the International Women’s Day.
