CNCF and Andela Partner to Train 20,000+ African Tech Professionals
- CNCF and Andela aim to equip 20,000 to 30,000 professionals with Kubernetes expertise.

This partnership represents a significant step towards addressing the global tech talent shortage by leveraging Africa's growing developer base. It highlights the importance of accessible training and certification programs, which can empower underrepresented groups and foster diversity in the tech industry. However, addressing the cost barrier for certifications remains crucial to maximize participation and impact.
