In today’s fast-changing digital world, staying ahead requires more than ambition, it demands future-ready skills. That’s why Mark Jedi and AVA Tech Academy have joined forces to launch a revolutionary platform: Africa AI Academy. This bold initiative is on a mission to equip African professionals with the AI and digital tools they need to thrive in a global workforce.

Why Africa Needs AI Upskilling Now

Africa is home to the world’s youngest population — a generation bursting with potential. But as AI continues to reshape industries across finance, healthcare, HR, marketing, and education, many professionals risk being left behind without access to relevant training. That’s where Africa AI Academy steps in.

Our programs are tailored for Africans living in Nigeria, the UK, and Canada, ensuring that both local talent and diaspora professionals are prepared to compete in global markets.

What Makes Africa AI Academy Different?

Unlike generic online courses, Africa AI Academy blends real-world application with AI-powered tools focusing on career advancement, not just theory. Whether you're an HR professional automating hiring workflows, a virtual assistant learning how to use ChatGPT, or a freelancer building pitch decks with Canva and AI, our training is built for impact and income generation.

Key Features of the Platform:

  • Hands-On Courses in AI for Business, HR Tech, Virtual Assistance, and Remote Work

  • The Future Builders Podcast, hosted by avatars Maze & Bunmi, featuring insights on digital careers

  • Downloadable Templates & Prompts for real-world use

  • Live Workshops and mentoring sessions

  • Certification to Showcase Your Skills

Each course is designed with simplicity and practicality in mind — perfect for professionals, students, and side-hustlers eager to grow their digital careers without a tech background.

A Strategic Partnership That Delivers Results

This initiative is powered by two forces:

  • Mark Jedi, known for pushing boundaries in AI storytelling, visual content, and creative automation.

  • AVA Tech Academy, a leader in HR and talent development across Africa.

Together, they're building more than a platform — they’re creating a community of forward-thinkers, creators, and career climbers.

Who Is This For?

Africa AI Academy is ideal for:

  • HR professionals seeking automation skills

  • Freelancers looking to scale with AI tools

  • Virtual Assistants aiming to work with global clients

  • Young professionals entering the digital job market

  • Diaspora Africans wanting to reconnect with Africa’s tech future

Whether you're in Lagos, London, or Toronto, our training meets you where you are — and prepares you for where the world is going.
