On October 25, 2024, TechPearl proudly hosted the graduation ceremony for the Syshive Batch of 2024, marking a significant milestone in the journey of these remarkable young women. Their digital skills development training commenced in February 2024, and over the course of the year, these dedicated fellows embraced every opportunity to learn, create, and innovate. Today, they stand as true pioneers, breaking boundaries and reshaping the narrative for women in tech.
The event was filled with excitement and joy as the graduates celebrated their achievements. A highlight of the ceremony was the inspiring words of our esteemed guest of honor, Madam Elizabeth Masache Chabaluka, who emphasized the importance of hands-on experience in today’s technology-driven world. She stated, “Thrive on hands-on experience.” This message resonated deeply with the graduates, reinforcing the idea that practical engagement is essential for building confidence and skills.
Madam Chabaluka discussed how hands-on experiences in fields like coding, robotics, and digital media empower young women to challenge long-standing stereotypes in technology. As they actively participate in these fields, they discover their potential and prove that they belong in spaces traditionally dominated by men. By immersing themselves in practical training, these young women not only gain technical skills but also cultivate a sense of self-belief that will carry them forward in their careers.
Throughout the event, the graduates showcased their impressive projects, highlighting their innovative solutions to real-world challenges. From developing applications that address health issues to creating tools that support agricultural needs and enhance educational access, these projects demonstrate the profound impact that technology can have on local communities. Each project reflects the graduates’ commitment to leveraging their skills as agents of change, making a tangible difference in the lives of those around them.
As we celebrate the accomplishments of the Syshive Batch of 2024, we recognize the importance of supporting and uplifting young women in technology. Their journey does not end here; it marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities to inspire others and continue breaking barriers. TechPearl remains dedicated to empowering young women through education and practical skills, ensuring they thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.
