Airtel Networks Zambia, in collaboration with Infratel, recently organised an ICT bootcamp aimed at addressing the gender gap in the ICT sector.

The event was designed to inspire and empower young girls to pursue careers in telecommunications and ICT. Senior staff from Airtel were enthusiastic about hosting 50 girls from various schools in Lusaka, providing them with insights into the industry and encouraging them to explore opportunities within this dynamic field.

The bootcamp is part of Airtel’s broader commitment to impacting young minds and nurturing emerging talent. By exposing these students to the possibilities within the ICT sector, Airtel and Infratel hope to cultivate a new generation of female leaders in technology. This initiative highlights the importance of gender diversity in the ICT industry and reinforces Airtel’s dedication to social responsibility and community development.
