Data Science Nigeria (DSN) has partnered with Loubby AI to connect qualified fellows from the DeepTech_Ready Upskilling Programme with employment opportunities in Nigeria and international markets.
The programme is supported by Google.org and delivered under the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) initiative of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy.
Through the partnership, Loubby AI will support the recruitment and placement of qualified fellows into full-time, part-time, freelance, and project-based technical roles.
Connecting Technical Training With Employment
The DeepTech_Ready Upskilling Programme prepares participants for careers in artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, cloud computing, software engineering, cybersecurity, and other technical fields.
While training helps professionals develop relevant skills, access to suitable employment remains an important part of turning those skills into sustainable careers. Many trained professionals still face difficulty finding roles that match their capabilities and provide opportunities to gain practical experience.
This partnership brings DSN’s technical training and talent development work together with Loubby AI’s recruitment and placement platform. The goal is to provide participating fellows with a clearer route from completing their training to being considered for relevant employment opportunities.
Loubby AI’s Role in the Partnership
Loubby AI will work with DSN to introduce qualified DeepTech_Ready fellows to employers seeking technical professionals.
Candidates will be considered based on factors such as their completed training, demonstrated technical skills, project experience, employment history, career interests, and the requirements of each available role. This approach will help employers identify candidates whose backgrounds are relevant to their positions.
Loubby AI will also support different employment arrangements, including permanent positions, part-time roles, freelance engagements, and defined technical projects. This gives employers more ways to access talent while allowing fellows to pursue opportunities that suit their experience and career plans.
Benefits for DeepTech_Ready Fellows
Qualified fellows will gain access to employment opportunities that reflect the skills developed through the programme. Through the partnership, qualified fellows will be connected with employers offering relevant technical opportunities in Nigeria and international markets.
The partnership will also help fellows gain practical experience by applying their knowledge to workplace responsibilities and real projects. Such experience can strengthen their professional profiles and support their continued career development.
Placement will depend on the requirements of each employer and the suitability of individual candidates. Completing the programme does not guarantee employment, but it gives qualified fellows an additional channel through which they can access relevant opportunities.
Benefits for Employers
Employers participating in the initiative will be able to access a pipeline of professionals trained in important technical disciplines. Candidate information can be reviewed against the responsibilities, skills, experience level, and working arrangements required for each position.
This can reduce the initial effort involved in reaching suitable candidates and help employers recruit for permanent, part-time, freelance, and project-based needs.
Employers will also be able to consider candidates across different technical areas rather than depending on a general applicant pool that may not reflect the specific requirements of their roles.
Supporting Nigeria’s Digital Talent Development
The 3MTT initiative forms part of Nigeria’s effort to develop a stronger technical workforce and increase the country’s participation in the digital economy. Training programmes are central to this objective, but their long-term value also depends on whether participants can apply what they have learned.
By connecting trained fellows with employment opportunities, the partnership supports the transition from skills development to practical work. It also helps employers discover Nigerian professionals who may be able to contribute to technical projects and teams within and outside the country.
Creating a Pathway From Training to Employment
The partnership between Loubby AI and Data Science Nigeria has a clear objective: to help qualified DeepTech_Ready fellows access relevant employment opportunities.
DSN will continue to provide technical training and talent development, while Loubby AI will support the recruitment and placement of qualified fellows. Together, both organisations will help connect trained professionals with employers seeking technical talent.
